Question

In C# .NET there is a built in Settings.settings file that allow to easily store form related properties such as positions, sizes, and states at user level.

Is there something similar in Java ? Whats the best way to save and restore frame related settings in Java ?

Answer 1

The Preferences API can help you in this regard.

Applications require preference and configuration data to adapt to the needs of different users and environments. The java.util.prefs package provides a way for applications to store and retrieve user and system preference and configuration data. The data is stored persistently in an implementation-dependent backing store. There are two separate trees of preference nodes, one for user preferences and one for system preferences.
