What is the cross-platform way of obtaining the path to the local application data directory?

I'm looking for a way to get the location of the local application data folder, which is a special Windows folder, in Java. Unfortunately, the following only works for English versions of Windows XP with default settings:

System.getProperty("user.home") + "\\Local Settings\\Application Data"

What I'd like to have is something like this in .NET:

System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData)

Is there a way to do it without having to call SHGetSpecialFolderLocation of the Windows Shell API?

Answer 1

System.getenv("APPDATA")

(there seems to be no env variable for the "Local Settings" folder, but this will give you the 'Application Data' folder)

Answer 2

what about the following

String dataFolder = System.getenv("LOCALAPPDATA");

I have a situation where this is NOT under "user.home"
