Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the leak in the UIMA Annotation Editor with a large CAS on Linux, closing it and running GC while observing memory. Trace the editor's CAS open and close lifecycle to identify retained objects; done means repeated open/close cycles no longer show memory accumulating after GC.
