My recent experiment with ubeta for Mac seems to
belie the statement below by Chris ... That is, I
find that startup.ijs, while it works neatly in the
IDE, doesn't get loaded during a jconsole start.
I too have had a modified profile.ijs for years as
Henry says below - for many releases, the distributed
profile.ijs file was unchanged. The ubeta was/is
different, so I would really like to move the the
more convenient/approved "startup.ijs" approach.
I tried my experiment in my previous message by not
remembering exactly what Chris said below - which is
that I have to have TWO startup files to replace my
profile.ijs modification - one for jw and another
for jconsole. I have a belief that when you have two
files, they are almost inevitably different... But
happily I could use a symbolic link to solve that.
On the other hand, a true "clean install" as I have
been nattering about in my other messages blows away
the config directory in any case. Largely removing
the convenience of avoiding adding the one line (to
load my own profile additions) near the end of the
distributed profile.ijs ... I think I'll just keep
doing it the way I have in the past. (sigh)

In your method, you need to modify profile.ijs or
copy two files. At the same time, startup.ijs is
not installed, thus preserved with new installation.
So no editing or moving is required, or at least
copying of just one file.
I agree - that would be nicer. I would be happy to
call my toolkit "startup.ijs" and set my locale in
it. It is a small nuisence to have to either edit
or check that profile.ijs is unchanged in a new
release. Maybe jsoftware can make this minor change
that would make life easier for jconsole users.
This is done for the next beta.
The normal config file is not read by jconsole, so in this case, the
startup script name is hard coded to startup_console.ijs. Put this
in your usual config directory, e.g.
.../j601/user/config/startup_console.ijs.
The usual name of startup.ijs is not used to avoid conflict with a
script that assumes jwd.
