Technically, the term "cookie" only make sense in the context of the
HTTP protocol. That being said, your Swing app is free to save to disk any
data it wants, whenever it wants.

Thanks Oliver.

I'm think of how to get the folder the app can write to, b/c users may
run this swing app
in Linux and they don't have writing permit, but they are allowed to
have the Browser write cookie to somewhere.

In this case, cookies are written to a users home directory, yes? (I
think so..)

So users do in fact have write permission. Just make a directory
$HOME/.myapp and put stuff there.

My brain being slow, I thought of this just after I clicked send...

Isn't there a preferences API in Java? I know there is because I just
checked. Why not use that?
