As mentioned, Java Preferences seem to be the answer you are looking
for. Java doesn't particularly use ini files. I don't know why you keep
bringing them up.
I suppose "ini files" are to be read as "the well-known canonical way to
store persistent application data."
Which I do not wish to.
As I understand the question, you want to store persistent application
data without using any well-known canonical way to store persistent
application data.
If that is not the question, perhaps you could clarify it.
If it is the question, in what way, other than not being a well-known
canonical solution, would an acceptable solution be different?
