The best way is to use a Properties class. It works just like an INI file
(more or less).
Is derived from Hashtable so you just have to do the following:

Properties prop=new Properties();

// sets a property called LastProject to c:\jbuilder\...
prop.put("LastProject","c:\jbuilder\myprojects\TestApp\TestApp.jpr");
// sets a property called LastLoaded to c:\jbuilder\...
prop.put("LastLoaded","c:\jbuilder\myprojects\TestApp\TestAppFrame.java");

The properties class has a Save method. I think it takes an InputStream.
I think the Load method will do all the parsing for you.
Check the help, because I don't remember now. :)
