ITW is capable of locating system wide properties. It is also capable of system-wide pointer to
properties - file, which is just pointing to the file on network, which keeps the properties.

However, I had never heard of usage of this. So the implementation may be rotten (no test exists
now). In addition, I dont know how this is handled in Windows, as paths are what separete those
worlds most.

See: http://icedtea.wildebeest.org/download/icedtea-web-docs/1.7/html/en/javaws.html "

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icedtea-web/deployment.properties - Users main deployment properties file.
$JAVA_HOME/lib/deployment.config - java-global deployment properties file. May be affected by
deployment.jre.dir.
/etc/.java/deployment/deployment.config - Global deployment config file.

Sothose files... can make troubles on windows.

Re reading *how* those files are handled, I would rather point you to code then to rephrase:
from
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web/file/996849aa03d1/netx/net/sourceforge/jnlp/config/DeploymentConfiguration.java#l506
over
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web/file/996849aa03d1/netx/net/sourceforge/jnlp/config/DeploymentConfiguration.java#l541
down to
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web/file/996849aa03d1/netx/net/sourceforge/jnlp/config/DeploymentConfiguration.java#l589


If you find it not working, I will not be surprised, and will be happy to test it on linux and patch
it for you. Howver I'm unable to verify windows-specific tests. And that will be pain point here.

Adding also Alex to CC, as he may be initerested in helping with this part on Windows, and also can
have knowledge about Windows system-wide config files, as:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web/file/996849aa03d1/netx/net/sourceforge/jnlp/config/PathsAndFiles.java#l366
is obviously wrong on windows.

Thanx!
