ModularPipelines Plugin
This is an experimental GATE plugin that provides a processing resources which can wrap a GATE application/pipeline file. In this way, pipeline files can be used inside a pipeline but still kept separately each in their own pipeline (gapp/xgapp) file. That way, each sub-pipeline can be maintained separately and the pipeline containing the sub-pipelien will always load the current version.The current version still is largely a proof of principle and may change significantly and without backwards-compatibility in the future. Additional future features may include a way to adapt runtime parameters of the processing resources in the wrapped pipeline from runtime parameters the wrapper PR.
If you have ideas, suggestions or found bugs, please contact me.
