Usage#

Set up your host#

Overcast looks for configuration properties in this order:

  • System.getProperty()
  • <HOMEDIR>/.overcast/overcast.conf
  • <WORKDIR>/overcast.conf
  • <CLASSPATH>/overcast.conf
note

The home location takes precedence over the project location.
This allows developers to adapt settings to their local setup without changing the project defaults.

The overcast.conf files are in Typesafe Config HOCON syntax.
This is a flexible JSON superset that allows comments, substitution, file inclusion, and more.
