I'm working on Audiveris installation and a Windows Installer (a .MSI file) is about to be released.
This was the opportunity to clean up a few things, and I would like to check if the new approach will also fit the needs of other platforms, namely Linux and Mac OS X.

Basically, the (Windows) installer will install things in 2 locations:
  1. A read-only location, typically "<home-drive>: /Program Files/<company-name>/audiveris-4.1beta"
  2. A read-write location, typically "<home-drive>: /Documents and Settings/<user-name>/Application Data/<company-name>/audiveris-4.1beta"

These locations names are for a Windows XP machine, those for Windows 7 are different but easily derived.
Internally, the Audiveris Java application reads from or writes to these 2 locations according to the task at hand.

My question:
- Is this approach more or less compatible with Linux and with Mac?
- How can I address these locations from the application Java code in the specific cases of Linux and of Mac?

Thanks in advance for any advice
/Hervé

Today, I published:
- audiveris-4.1beta.3162-src.zip (archive of all source items)
- audiveris-4.1beta.3162.msi (Installer for Windows)

The installation strategy should be compatible with the Linux/Ubuntu environment, using the XDG recommendations.
Feedback from Linux users would be appreciated.
