Where are Java Preferences (Applet Runtime Parameters) saved on Mac OS X?

Hi.
If you want to modify the Applet Runtime parameters in Mac OS X, you need to use the "Java Preferences" application located under /Applications/Utilities.
Suppose that I open the "Java Preferences" application, I select a specific JRE version, and I set a runtime parameter of "-Xmx300m" for Applets, in order to increase the max heap size.
Now, where is this setting saved to?
Until recent past, these values used to be saved in the <UserHome>/Library/Caches/Java/deployment.properties file.
But this does not seem to be the case any longer.
Does anyone knows where are these settings currently saved in Mac OS X? I am currently running Mac OS X v10.5.8 with Java 1.6.0_20 installed.
Any help / hint would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marco.

  • Where are System preferences- Keyboard- Text settings saved?

    I am trying to find the Settings of my System preferences->Keyboard->Text on my drive. I deleted my whole user library, and after reloading i still find my settings in the pane( so my conclusion is they are not in the ~/Library location. Does anyone have any idea where these settings are saved on the hard drive?

    Hello Eric,
    yes, restart is done after removing the user library. Still, the shortcuts are in the system preferences pane.
    To explain why I'm after these files: I'm not trying to clear the settings, i'm actually trying to find the file, so i might safe/load them on different users.
    My biggest bet did not work: ~/Library.
    Is there any other location where I will find saves user settings?

  • Where are user preferences stored? Are they encrypted?

    In a portal application, where are user preferences actually stored? Are they encrypted? If not, is there a way to make them encrypted? The reason I'm asking is the user wants to be able to store their credentials for logging into a mainframe associated with their primary login. Other than storing that as preferences, is there another way of securely saving this info?
    Thanks.

    User preferences by default are stored in the portal database. Not encrypted.

  • Where are system preferences documented?

    Where are system preferences documented? I have posted a question on this forum from time to time, or read articles in MacWorld, and often the solution to this or that is to set a particular preference, for example NSToolTipsFontSize. Is there a central place where I can find all of these preferences documented, perhaps by category?
    I tried looking in XCode Help with no luck, and a Google search didn't turn up anything either.

    Not really. Most default settings are documented at http://secrets.blacktree.com/ Having the Secrets prefPane installed helps with learning about them. Alternatively, peruse the hits from a google search for *defaults site:developer.apple.com*.

  • HT4867 Now that I've switched to  ICloud where are the mailboxes that were stored on my Mac?

    Now that I've switched to ICloud where are the mailboxes that were stored on my Mac?

    On your mac, mailboxes are listed under one of several categories.  Some are "on my mac" and others are in "icloud".  Those emails in mailboxes "on my mac" are strictly local, they do not connect with iCloud.  As Julian points out, all mailboxes on your mac are still there.  They will not be on your other devices.

  • Where are java classes stored?

    Does anyone where the java classes are physically stored?

    Thanks, Irian,
    in the meantime I have found another solution. For Windows it works using environment variable IDE_USER_DIR.
    Create a new directory for the runtime files, e.g. C:\sqldevtemp
    Add environment variable IDE_USER_DIR with the value of "C:\sqldevtemp".
    Close SQL Developer, move (or copy if you want) all files from the old folder to the new folder and start SQL Developer again.
    Done.

  • Where is java preferences folder?

    I am running 10.7.5 and can no longer find my Java preferences in Application>Utilities>Java Preferences.  Is it hidden somewhere else now?

    So, where IS the new system Preference Pane for controlling Java settings? Even with Java JRE updates, the folders remain hidden! Thanks for your help.
    If you install just the Apple Java updates including the last which was 2012-006 then you will not see the new Java Preference Pane. To get the new one you need to install the Oracle version of Java for Mac which can be downloaded free from http://www.java.com

  • Mail: Where are email messages and address book saved?

    Good morning.
    I would like to backup both emails and the address book in Mail.
    Where are these located on my harddrive?
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi Again Bruce,
    On Mail...
    First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
    (Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
    Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    For Address Book, quit AB...
    Files...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
    Folders...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/

  • Where are font preferences kept?

    I have this weird situation with the font window, the one you bring up in TextEdit when you select "Show fonts". The window that comes up as many invisible entries in my Favorites window. That is, about 5 lines show fonts I have saved as to size and color, etc. However below that are about 10 lines of nothing visible, yet if I have text selected and and click on those empty lines then it formats the text. Obviously there is something wrong since the font name and formatting does not show.
    I have tried to find out to reset this by looking for the preferences files that holds my settings but cannot find it.
    Does anybody know where it is?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Hi, Richard.
    The preference file that contains your font Favorites, as displayed in the Font palette (the "font window" you cited), is the file
    com.apple.Favorites.collection
    in your Home > Library > FontCollections folder. This folder also contains any font collections or libraries you've defined using Font Book.
    Good luck!
