Michael, I'll see if I can add some more clarification. I apologize to everyone if this is confusing.
The OpenJUMP/lib/ext directory holds the JAR file for the extension. I want to have a subfolder in the OpenJUMP/extensions directory that provides a workspace for extension developers to store files that might not be included in the JAR file. For example, I might want to store configuration files, image files, help documentation, and developer documentation in this area. As another example, with the FeatureEater Plug-In I'll need a place to store the on-disk feature stores. (I can allow the user to choose the location, but it might do to have a default location.) If this isn't a good idea I can just create an installer for my Plug-In that creates a "SurveyOS/OpenJUMP/Extensions" folder, or something similar. I have no problem with using an independent directory, but thought it might make more sense for the extension developers to share a folder under the OpenJUMP installation directory. Let me know if you have any more questions.
