SimonManager (Java Simon 4.1.4 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.javasimon.SimonManager

```
public final class SimonManager
extends Object
```
SimonManager is static utility class providing so called "default Manager. It is possible to create separate Manager, but it cannot be accessed via this convenient utility-like class. This option may be useful in Java EE environment when it's required to separate Simon trees across different applications. For majority of Java SE applications this class is recommended.
SimonManager also provides configuration initialization via properties. To initialize configuration with the configuration file following option can be added to JVM executable:
```
-Djavasimon.config.file=some-path/simon.config.xml
```
To configure the SimonManager via resource that can be found on classpath:
```
-Djavasimon.config.resource=org/javasimon/example/wannabe-config.xml
```
