Mir customization

The principle of mir is that all local modifications should be made in the etc/ directory.

• You definitely must modify etc/config.properties to define your local configuration
• Files you might want to modify for your local IMC are some of the files like etc/*/.template*
• Files you might want to modify and/or create are some of the files like etc/bundles/.properties*
• Files you just possibly might want to create to localise the java code itself are to be placed in etc/extrasource/. After creating these, you need to:
  • change the Mir.Localizer key in etc/config.properties to point to your java code localizer.
  • recompile with ant and restart tomcat.
