developer.userDirectory

Autoplot needs a local space to run the full application. This is in $HOME/autoplot_data/, so it is at:

• /home/$USER/autoplot_data on linux/unix
• /Users/$USER/autoplot_data on a mac and Windows 7
• C:\Documents and Settings\USER\autoplot_data on Windows XP

Within this folder there are the folders:

• fscache/ area for the cache of downloaded files
• plugins/ jar files for new plugins go here, also jython-implementations of plugins. These are not used because of Webstart security. For local installations, this probably still works.
• bookmarks/ bookmarks storage and recent links.
• tools/ Jython scripts that are added to the menu bar under tools.
• pycache/ Python puts stuff here for its operation

The fscache can be moved using the Autoplot GUI to a different filesystem.
