Burn Lewis commented on UIMA-2686:
----------------------------------
I suggest exchanging 1 & 2 so the search is from the inside out ... first
Java's properties, then the environment, then the filesystem. Also callers can
set system properties but can't change the environment.
> Derive DUCC_HOME from the location of executable jars in CLI.

> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: DUCC
> Reporter: Jim Challenger
> Assignee: Jim Challenger
>
> The scripting currently derives the location of DUCC_HOME based on where it
> is invoked from. When using the API the invoked code should do the same
> thing, based on where it is invoked from.
> A search-order is established:
> 1) search environment for DUCC_HOME
> 2) look in system properties (-DDUCC_HOME)
> 3) infer DUCC_HOME from the location of the jar file the API is invoked from
> If DUCC_HOME is not found in any of these places, throw and fail.
