LIMA configuration files

LIMA configuration files are searched in the folder pointed to by the LIMA_CONF environment variable. If it not defined, they are searched in the /usr/share/lima/conf folder (under GNU/Linux). This can be overridden on the command line using the --config-dir parameter.

The main configuration files are lima-common.xml lima-analysis.xml. This can be overridden on the command line using the --common-config-file and the --lp-config-file parameters. lima-common.xml define some general information common to all languages and the names of the files defining language specific data. lima-analysis.xml defines the names of the files describing language specific pipelines and process units. It also defines a mapping between global and language specific pipeline names.

The file that you will mainly have to look at to change the behavior of LIMA on a given language is lima-lp-.xml.

The last configuration file, that can be very helpful to help debugging LIMA is the log4cpp.properties file. It allows to activate several levels of debugging information.

lima-analysis.xml

lima-lp-.xml
