Dear all,

I am beginning to see the light with Java (after spending way too much time
in Bill's hell) but I cannot get rid of some annoying habits. I used to
store persistent window information (placement, dimension etc...i.e. the
info of the WINDOWPLACEMENT structure) either in an INI file, back in the
Win3.1 days, or in the infamous registry; so that the application, upon
launching, would assume the same placement as during the previous session.

Are there any standards for Java/Swing applications to store and retrieve
these settings, or can one just simply stream the corresponding properties
(left, top, width, height, iconized etc...) in a binary file?

Thanks to all.
Recovering from Windows,
