Strange behaviour with properties files about agdistis HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi, the question fits fine here and we are glad to help. From which branch are you using it?

from agdistis.

Glad to hear that. I am currently using the mergeT branch.

Hey @Phauly1, I think that you are doing everything right. The stranger behavior comes from this line https://github.com/AKSW/AGDISTIS/blob/mergeT/src/main/java/org/aksw/agdistis/webapp/GetDisambiguation.java#L83

Please, trying to comment it and tell me whether it works.

Another thing to check is, how are you building and using the jar from your project? If you do it via mvn install and a pom, please try to delete if from ~/.m2/repositories and reinstall it

Thanks for your suggestions so far!

@DiegoMoussallem I have commented out this line, but nothing changed.

@RicardoUsbeck The JAR of my main program is built via mvn install and a pom file, yes. I have deleted everything in .m2 and installed it from scratch, but it also does not solve the problem.

But I made a new discovery:

I downloaded a new and untouched AGDISTIS version from mergeT and just excluded the config folder via the pom file and commented out the aforementioned line of code. After that, I run mvn install and get an AGDISTIS JAR with no config folder or properties files in it. I am doing this, because I just want to see, if there will be some error later on, triggered by missing configuration parameters.

If I add this AGDISTIS JAR to my local maven repository with mvn install:install-file there is still no config folder or properties file in the AGDISTIS JAR - good.
But now, when I run mvn install or even mvn clean install on my main program, there suddenly is a config folder with all AGDISTIS properties files in the main program's JAR. I have absolutely no idea how this happens. Edit: These appearing properties files seem to be the defaults I was talking about in my first post.

Do you have any idea what causes this behaviour?

I have never seen that behaviour before. Can you debug what's happening with Eclipse?

Hmm maybe related to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34131991/properties-file-reads-old-data-when-jar-is-executed-from-command-line ?

I have repeated the whole procedure and installed everything again. I really do not know what the problem was, but now I am able to configure AGDISTIS out of my own resource folder. Thank you very much for your help!
