    That depends on your kind of J2SE Application:

    • J2SE executable JAR file (very simple): use user.home System property to find home-dir. Then make a subdir accordingly (like e.g. PGP, SVN, … do)
    • Java Web Start provides very nice included methods to safe properties. Always user-specific
    • Finally Eclipse RCP: There you have the notion of the workspace (also derived from user.home) for users and configuration (not totally sure how to access that tricky in Vista) for computer wide usage

    All these approaches are, when used with care — use correct separatorChar — OS neutral.
