finding Operating System specific data

[FrankyDee]

Hi there,

I'm a newbie to Java so please, bare with me.

I have to write an application that is going to store user preferences.
To store them, I need to find out the user's home directory on any platform this app can run on (Windows, Unix, Linux)

For example, on Windows, I'd need to know the user's My Documents folder

Can anybody help ?

Check getProperties() method in this class. "user.home" system property is what you can obtain from Java. This will work for all OSes supported.
