Path of "Application data" of windows
Sep 25th, 2006, 6:44pm  
Hi all,

Someone know any system variable in java to get the path of "Application data" of windows? (is inside "Documents and settings").

I have others but not this. And this folder change in diferents windows languages, in Spanish is "Datos de programa".

Code:

void setup(){
println(System.getProperty("os.name") );
println(System.getProperty("path.separator"));
println(System.getProperty("user.language"));
println(System.getenv("COMPUTERNAME"));
println( System.getProperty( "user.dir" ));

}


cheers,

Mar

not that i know of. for processing itself, we use additional native code to get it.

generally java provides no access to operating system features that are not entirely cross-platform. so because application data doesn't exist on other machines, it's not part of the java api.

I saw that It's not in java api -> java.lang.System
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getProperties()

I'm looking to read database the inbox of Mozilla Thunderbird(email software client), and in this folder have the folders that contain all messages saved in the inbox. The problem is in diferents language of windows OS have diferent names this folder("appilication data").

just thanks,

Mar
