-----------------------------------------------------------------
Would like to get some thoughts on this. I originally implemented this where
the environment variables would override what is specified in
TesseractOCRConfig. Only if the environment variables are not specified would
the config variables be used.
[~lfcnassif] suggested doing it the other way. The values in config will
override, so you can specify global, system-wide defaults with the environment
variables, but then individual systems can override by specifying in config.
Either way can be done in an upward compatible, non-breaking way. If the
environment variables are not specified, everything continues to work as before.
Any suggestions on which way to go? I'm seeing the benefit of doing it the way
Luis suggested.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Peter Kronenberg
> Priority: Trivial

> Allow tesseract/tessdata path to be specified by environment variables,
> overriding whatever is specified in TesseractOCRConfig.properties. This
> allows the paths to be specified externally from the jar, allowing for easier
> execution on multiple systems
