[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-103?page=comments#action_12459758 ] Mario Ivankovits commented on VFS-103: --------------------------------------
I see what you have done and I am pretty sure it works for you. But (IMHO) for a library this approach is not sufficient. You can move these folders to virtually any place AND, as far as I know, they differ from system to system in name depending on the OS language. At least you have to lookup those paths through the registry (on windows). I think there is no way around in using a native library. > Add support for Local File System reserved directories > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: VFS-103 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-103 > Project: Commons VFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Mark Fortner > Priority: Minor > Attachments: RootFileFactory.java > > > Mac OS X, and Windows has special purpose directories used to organizes > specific types of files.
