I believe I'm off topic here so I wont drag this out. For those interested I found an excellent way to do it using the new preferences API from Java 1.4.1.
Code example:
Preferences prefs = Preferences.systemNodeForPackage(library.class);
String lastModDate = prefs.get("lastModDate", currDate);
int numberOfDays = prefs.getInt("numberOfDays", 30);
if(!lastModDate.equals(currDate)){
numberOfDays = numberOfDays - 1;
prefs.putInt("numberOfDays", numberOfDays);
}
Thanks
Colin
