Configuration Setup

This version of lvg Java provides users choices of different set up options through the configuration file. The default configuration file is ${LVG_DIR}/data/config/lvg.properties. The variables used in the configuration file are listed in the following table. "Relative path" refers to the path relative to lvg top directory, ${LVG_DIR}.
