Vimrc

Brief Description

Upon startup the included vimrc will try to first load a preliminary vimrc defined by the user, then run itself, and finally run a finalizing vimrc defined by the user.

Preliminary vimrc

File Path: ~/.<hostname>.before.vimrc

The purpose of this file is to define aspects of the development environment via global variables. All global variables are optional such that if they are not defined, then a default value will be assigned to them or a feature will be removed.

Variable Name	Purpose	Behavior if not defined.
g:charLimit	Defines the character limit per line.	Will use a default value of 80.
g:developmentUsername	Statically defines the user for this vimrc.	Will default to $USER.
g:javaCompiler	Defines the compiler for java files.	The compiler will not be set.
g:workspace	Defines the root directory of the workspace currently being developed in.	Will remain undefined. Tags will not work.

Finalizing vimrc

File Path: ~/.<hostname>.after.vimrc

The purpose of this file is minimize modifications to the included vimrc by allowing the user to change settings defined. Unless there is a bug all user-specific modifications should be made to this file.
