Configuring the DITA Open Toolkit The DITA OT uses .properties files that store configuration settings for the DITA OT and its plug-ins. The configuration properties are available to both Ant and Java processes, but unlike argument properties, they cannot be set at run time. plugin.properties file The plugin.properties file is used to store configuration properties that are set by the integration process. The file is located in the lib\org.dita.dost.platform directory; it is regenerated each time the integration process is run and so should not be edited manually.
