Java has no consistent notion about an "application path", but 
System.getProperty("user.dir"); returns the user directory. You
could store your files there. You could also set an application property with a -D VM parameter. And finally you could get your 
file using the main class' classloader with something like 
mainClassInstance.class.getResourceAsStream("foo.ini");

BTW - ini files are a Windows-only concept, the Java equivalent
are property files:
