Sounds like a good idea;
we can just update all of the documentation/scripts to use underscore (_), and
leave the dot (.) in the code to be deprecated for now?

This went in to 3.1 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-164
I agree - the docs need to be updated if there is consensus on the use
of this method. Personally I think that there should be one supported
method, not both dot and underscore. I would prefer that we remove
the dot functionality since it is not operational across all
environments, but it isn't up to me alone to remove functionality.

I believe Sean updated the code to also support underscore (_) as
well. But the docs just need to be updated...

In the documentation, in the .sh files to run ctakes;

export ctakes.umlsuser=[username], ctakes.umlspw=[password]
however, simply trying to
export ctakes.umlsuser=myusername, ctakes.umlspw=mypassword
doesnt work because bash3 doesnt allow dots in the keyname and will
throw an error

it may be helpful to show how the user can set these easily if they
want to set the env variables this way, possibly using one of the
suggestions in SO.
