We have a Windows Java desktop application that creates some configuration files at %APPDATA% and creates logs at %TEMP% location. Now we are planning to release that desktop application for Mac OS X. We are facing following difficulties:

  1. We do not want to keep application data within .app (file extension app) so please suggest where else we can keep our configuration files.
  2. We do not want to keep temporary files at %TEMP% location in Mac OS X because Mac OS X automatically cleans the %TEMP% location as per schedule.

So we do not want data lose from temp and do not want to keep data with in .app. Please suggest.

Thanks
