[jira] [Commented] (UIMA-2686) Derive DUCC_HOME from the location of executable jars in CLI.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2686?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13584241#comment-13584241 ] 

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.

> 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.
