What is the best way to save settings a Java program will use to
configure itself each time it runs?

In Windows, I would use the registery or an INI file.  I am inclined to
use a regular text file and parse it.  The question is where should the
file go?  Can I just save it in the current directory.  What happens
when a Java application is on non-Windows platforms?  What are other
people doing?
