Hello all, and thanks for reading!

I have what I believe is a simple question for a plugin expert to answer, but for some reason I cannot find a good answer in forum archives or the eclipse documentation:

How do I create a file in the user's filesystem, preferably in the root directory of the computer?

Also, how do I append to this file, assuming that nonstandard APIs may be at work here?

I have tried the standard java File.createNewFile() command, but I got a java.io.IOException: Access Denied error.

Thanks,

Mathew Mooty
