On a UNIX system in the shell script I would recommend putting user
specific configuration into ~/.openjump rather than under sub directory
the open jump application directory. Remember that in a lot of systems
users don't have permission to write to the directories where the
application is stored.
On windows you can get the users home directory from the %USERPROFILE%
environment variable so you could use this to create a settings file
under there.
Then for a given user if you wanted to create multiple profiles you
would have one config file in the user's OJ config directory that lists
the profiles and then a sub directory for each profile. At startup the
user could be given an option to select the profile to load (unless they
checked always use a specific profile).
For custom OJ distributions that a company put's together they can
either just use a different profile name in their batch script or change
the batch script to user a different config directory name.

We could also create a /openjump/users/ folder. This would allow us to
maintain our "cross-platform" status while still supporting individual
user configuration settings.

Hi,
* All users share the same properties file unless you change it in
the batch script to point to a user specific directory
then maybe we should change the batch scripts. Since most of the Windows people
will have installed at least Windows 2000/XP (and not Windows 98 any more ;-)),
there's a good chance that they have a home directory...
I'm also for a change in the linux script to create the $HOME/.jump directory if
it does not exist.
Best regards, Andreas
