Run

You can run the application using Gradle. However, there is no possibility to easily provide arguments.

./gradlew run

Alternatively, you can run the start script of the built application.

hale --version

If using ./gradlew installDist, the start script can be found in ./build/install/hale/bin/.

JVM parameters can be provided to the start script with the HALE_OPTS environment variable.

Configuration

Logging

The system properties log.hale.level and log.root.level can be set to control the default logging levels.

HALE_OPTS="-Dlog.hale.level=INFO -Dlog.root.level=WARN"

Proxy connection

If you need to connect to the internet via a proxy server, you need to provide that information as system properties as well.

The following system properties can be provided to configure the proxy:

http.proxyHost - the proxy host name or IP address
http.proxyPort - the proxy port number
http.nonProxyHosts - hosts for which the proxy should not be used, separated by | (optional)
http.proxyUser - user name for authentication with the proxy (optional)
http.proxyPassword - password for authentication with the proxy (optional)

Example:

HALE_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=webcache.example.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts='localhost|host.example.com'"

Language

Some commands may produce different results based on your language. By default the system language is used. You can override the default locale settings via the following system properties:

user.language - two letter code for the language (e.g. de)
user.country - two letter code for the country (e.g. DE)
user.variant - name of the variant, if applicable
