I want it to be "idiot proof"...
I want the installation instructions for this program to be
"put it somewhere and run it"
I don't want to assume that the user will know. I don't
even want to know what port *your* server is running on...
I want to develop a function which will reliably tell me
what port freenet is using on any given local machine. If
there isn't a method somewhere in freenet.jar, I am going to
search in freenet.ini (in windows) and .freenetrc (in Unix).
In order to search the files... I have to know where most
people keep them.
In PERL there is a special variable which tells you what
platform you are running on.
PERL is an excellent cross platform "control language" for
Java in my opinion.
Here is what I mean... look at getjavapath() and
getnullfile()...

You could do something horribly radical like asking the
user....
