In principle, this problem has been solved in XXE v4. XXE v4 indeed uses the value of %APPDATA%, however on my French Windows machine, %APPDATA% is still "C:\Document and Settings\hussein\Application Data\" -- which is clearly not French at all, so it is really up to Microsoft to decide. > 2) Native (including Java) Mac OS X applications are suppose to store > it's internal configuration files in ~/Library/Application > Support/ProductName folder, while XXE stores it's data in .xxe which is > expected behavior only for generic (command line) Unix applications. We unfortunately forgot to implement this one and it is too late for XXE v4.
