## Interface ResourceManagerConfiguration

- All Superinterfaces:
    Cloneable, MetaDataObject, Serializable, XMLizable

      public interface ResourceManagerConfiguration
      extends MetaDataObject

  Defines a set of external resources and their bindings to `ExternalResourceDependencies`.

  Resource Manager Configurations can declare that they `import` other Resource Manager Configurations. At runtime, these imports will be resolved to create a single logical Resource Manager Configuration..

  Note that type system imports are not automatically resolved when a ResourceMangerConfiguration is deserialized from XML. To resolve the imports, call the `resolveImports()` method. Import resolution is done automatically when the `ResourceManager` is initialized (e.g. during AnalysisEngine initialization).

  Resource Manager Configurations can optionally be assigned a `name`, `description`, `vendor`, and `version`. It is recommended that these properties be set on any Resource Manager Configuration that is meant to be shared by (imported by) multiple components.
