John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2748:
-------------------------------------
It's not possible to modify the jar file, so you'll need to use user space. But
that's different on every OS. A better choice would be to use the [Preferences
API|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/preferences/overview.html]
which handles this for you and was intended as a replacement for using
Properties files.

> A recently opened file list containing menu in pdf reader will be a nice
> feature in PDF reader.
> I've made a patch for this. A new package under org.apache.pdfbox.tools is
> created named util which contains the class RecentFiles so that this can be
> used in feature improvement of other GUI tools PDFBox provides.
> In RecentFiles class, file path string is saved in preference by converting
> and breaking them into byte array. To do That, I've followed this
> [post|http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-prefapi/] .
> I'm saying this to help PDFBox to make an informed decision concerning
> licences issues if there is any.
