Method Detail

match

public Annotation match(Annotation annotation,
                        String compareSetName,

                        IAA iaa,
                        MatchResult matchResult)

This method will return an annotation with the same class and spans. If one does not exist, then it will return an annotation with the same class and overlapping spans. If more than one of these exists, then the shortest annotation with the same class and overlapping spans will be returned. Otherwise, null is returned.
