    - #### create

          public static <T> T create(UimaContext context,
                                     String className,
                                     Class<T> superClass)
                              throws ResourceInitializationException

      Provides a way to create an instance of T. If the class specified by className implements `Initializable`, then the UimaContext provided here will be passed to its initialize method.
      Type Parameters:
        `T` - the interface type
      Parameters:
        `context` - the UIMA context containing the parameter settings
        `className` - the name of a class implementing `Initializable`
        `superClass` - a class to which the initializable class is cast
      Returns:
        a new initialized instance of the initializable class cast as the specified class
      Throws:
        `ResourceInitializationException` - if there was a problem during initialization or instantiation

    - #### getClass

          public static <T> Class<? extends T> getClass(String className,
                                                        Class<T> superClass)
                                                 throws ResourceInitializationException

      Type Parameters:
        `T` - the interface type
      Parameters:
        `className` - the name of a class implementing `Initializable`
        `superClass` - a class to which the initializable class is cast
      Returns:
        a new initialized instance of the initializable class cast as the specified class
      Throws:
        `ResourceInitializationException` - if there was a problem casting the class

    - #### create

          public static <T> T create(UimaContext context,
                                     Class<? extends T> cls)
                              throws ResourceInitializationException

      Type Parameters:
        `T` - the interface type
      Parameters:
        `context` - the UIMA context containing the parameter settings
        `cls` - the class implementing `Initializable`
      Returns:
        a new initialized instance of the initializable class cast as the specified class
      Throws:
        `ResourceInitializationException` - if there was a problem during initialization or instantiation

    - #### initialize

          public static void initialize(Object object,
                                        UimaContext context)
                                 throws ResourceInitializationException

      Parameters:
        `object` - an instance of a class implementing `Initializable`
        `context` - the UIMA context containing the parameter settings
      Throws:
        `ResourceInitializationException` - if there was a problem during initialization
