Configuration files

The configuration of Gridella is done via Java property files in the users home directory, e.g., C:\Documents and Settings\{user name}\ on Microsoft Windows computers. The files can be opened and edited with a text editor. They are structured in several parts and each property is represented by a name=value pair. To guarantee the correct work of the application, only the properties described in this manual should be changed and only the described values should be used. Some properties can also be changed by the GUI and override any changes in property files after Gridella startup. Properties should therefore only be changed when Gridella is not running.

Gridella is configured by four files:
