问题
I have a Java Webstart application and I want my log output to go to a file. The application must work on Mac OS X and Windows (and it'd be nice to work on Linux and generally any Unix).
I'm using Logback.
Where should I place my log files? Is there standard code to get a file location that is suitable for logs and will adjust the location appropriately for each platform?
回答1:
I would in most cases put it in the user's local Application Data directory. That might not be relevant depending on your application.
I found this earlier question relevant when I needed a place to put my logfiles on a Windows machine: Where to store an application log file on Windows
Unfortunately, I don't believe there's a function to get the best location for each platform.
