JDK 1.4: "Could not create system preferences directory"

I have finally decided to start using JDK 1.4 ( 1.4.1-beta to be exact. ). Installed it as root under /usr/local. When running a Swing app ( under my own account, NOT root ) that was originally created with JDK 1.3.1 ( but recompiled for JDK 1.4.1 ), I get this: 11/08/2002 10:43:10 java.util
