How to set the parameter dictRemoveWS to true in Apache Ruta

Question

dictRemoveWS is related to Wordlist. I want to remove whitespace issue in my custom ruta script taking wordlist from txt file.

The documentation says to use CONFIGURE method with following example:

ENGINE utils.HtmlAnnotator; Document{->CONFIGURE(HtmlAnnotator, "onlyContent" = false)}; But still I'm unable to set dictRemoveWS parameter to true

Parameters like this can be configured on the engine configuration:

In Java:

AnalysisEngineFactory.createEngine(RutaEngine.class, typeSystemDescription,
                RutaEngine.PARAM_SCRIPT_PATHS, scriptsPath,
                RutaEngine.PARAM_RESOURCE_PATHS, resourcesPath,
                RutaEngine.PARAM_MAIN_SCRIPT, "Main",
                RutaEngine.PARAM_DICT_REMOVE_WS, true)

or in XML definition:
