Hello Barry, the main AnalysisEngine descriptor defined inside the <analysisEngine> element should be inside one of the jars imported with the <lib> elements. At the moment it cannot be taken from expanded directories but it should be easy to do it (and indeed useful) modifying the OverridingParamsAEProvider class [1] at line 57. Hope this helps, Tommaso
