This is a tribute both to the authors of XML4J and to those involved in SAX (especially David Megginson, of course). The installation involved re-compilation because the program holds a list of SAXDriver classes internally (6 so far). I'd really like to do this sort of thing (including menu re-generation) driven by declarative files from outside the program (so recompilation isn't necessary). My question is: *What is the best way of associating files with Java applications in a platform independent manner?* Traditionally I would use a different method for each OS (.jumborc for UNIX, C:\jumbo.ini, etc.) I would like to avoid having to tell installers what they have to do. So - assume I have files myResource.xml, icons/jumbo.gif, etc. which I wish to make available to the application. - is there a standard place to put these? - is it a good idea to use a jar file - if so how do I reference them from the program? [The *.class are referenced by classpath - but what about the others?] I hope this makes sense to some Java experts. P.
