Anyone know if Java CoG Kit, particularly the GlobusCredential class,
will load a user proxy as specified by the X509_USER_PROXY environment
setting?

Here's what the document on the Java CoG Kit has to say about this. The
statement comes from page 13 of "GT 4.0 Contribution: Java CoG Kit".

3. Configuring
In general no extra configuration is required to use Java CoG Kit.
However, in certain cases additional configuration might be required.
The Java CoG Kit configuration file is placed in
$HOME/.globus/cog.properties on Unix/Linux machines or
%USERPROFILE%\.globus\cog.properties on Windows machines.

3.1. Proxy file location
By default Java CoG Kit will try to use the same proxy file as used by
the C tools. However, in certain cases Java CoG Kit might fail to
determine the right proxy file location. In these cases a proxy file
location might need to be specified in the configuration file. To set a
specific proxy file location just add the following line to the
configuration file:

proxy=<proxy location>

This has the same effect as setting the X509_USER_PROXY environment
property or Java system property.

Is it possible to use the X509_USER_PROXY setting instead of
cog.properties?

Thanks,
Rob
