Is there some way I can get an appropriate directory in a cross-platform
manner? I want this to be a sensible directory so that the user can find
it fairly easily if I need them to.
class SomePoperties {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println( System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir") );
System.out.println( System.getProperty("user.home") );
}
}
If using user.home, it would be best to put the
application specific data in a sub-directory based
on the main class package name, to help avoid
overwriting data from any other app.!
For a sandboxed web start app., you might look to
storing information using the PersistenceService*,
and if the user wants access to it, export it using the
FileSaveService**, to whereever the user desires.
