Hi. 

I stumbled over this article: 
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/qa/qa1170/_index.html at the Apple 
Developer site. It describes where to find important Java directories on OS X. 
One important thing described in the article is that the ~/Library/Application 
Support directory shouldn´t be used for critical application data, as the 
directory is only meant for noncritical application resources. You should 
instead put critical application data in directly in ~ /Library/<Application 
Name>.
