$HOME/.xxe4/ on Linux.
$HOME/Library/Application Support/XMLmind/XMLEditor4/ on the Mac.
%APPDATA%\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\ on Windows 2000, XP, Vista.
Example: C:\Documents and Settings\john\Application

C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\ on Windows Vista.
If you cannot see the "Application Data" directory using Microsoft
Windows File Manager, turn on Tools>Folder Options>View>File and
Folders>Show hidden files and folders. I also did this last part too. I'm
using a windows 7 32 bit system.
So where would I add the new subdirectory to?
XXE has two addon/ directories. If you have sufficient permissions, you may install your example1 add-on in either directory.
A simple trick to learn where these addon/ directories are found is to select menu item "Options|Preferences" and then to select "Install Add-ons".
See attached screenshot. The box drawn in red shows you the location of the user-specific addon/ directory. The box drawn in magenta shows you the location of the system-wide addon/ directory.
Note that if for any reason, the user preferences directory (which contains the first addon/ directory) does not exist and/or cannot be created by XXE, then XXE will not be fully functional.
----------IMPORTANT: Developers installing or uninstalling add-ons *by* *hand* should disable the "Quick Start Cache". (Otherwise XXE will fail to see the add-ons installed by hand.) This is done by unchecking the "Quick Start Cache" check box in "Options|Preferences", "Advanced|Cached Data section".
