public class PepperConfiguration
extends Properties
```
This class contains all possible configurations, to take influence on the Pepper process. A configuration is realized as a Property, therefore this class is derived from the general Properties class. It is enhanced for methods to have an easier access to fields to configure the Pepper framework, but you can also find anything necessary when treating this object as a normal Properties object.
Loading and resolving configuration
Next to the the mechanisms of loading a prop file or an xml file, this object can also resolve the configuration file by checking the location of the Pepper bundle. It is assumed, that the configuration file is contained in one of two possible locations.
1. development phase: it is assumed, that the configuration file is stored in PEPPER_SOURCE_HOME/src/main/resoruces
2. testing phase: it is assumed, that the configuration file is stored in BUNDLE_LOCATION/../BUNDLE_NAME

```
public MEMORY_POLICY getMemPolicy()
```
    Returns the memory policy for instance to configure the behavior of loading documents. See MEMORY_POLICY for more details.
    
    Returns:
  - getMaxAmountOfDocuments
```
public Integer getMaxAmountOfDocuments()
```
    Returns the the maximal number of currently processed SDocument-objects
    
    Returns:
  - getGcAfterDocumentSleep
```
public Boolean getGcAfterDocumentSleep()
```
  - getKeepDocuments
```
public Boolean getKeepDocuments()
```
    name of the flag to determine whether the temporary created document-graph files should be preserved or deleted after Pepper terminates. Default value is false.
  - getReportInterval
```
public Integer getReportInterval()
```
    Flag to determine the time interval of the convert status report
  - getDetaialedStatReport
```
