Summary: A menu that will give me the content of user.home

Initial Comment:
To be able to easily determine where plugins and 
dictionaries should be placed, there should be a menu 
(in Help?) that will give me the directories where 
those should be placed.

Egon,
Is this feature still active? We have a volunteer who would be 
willing to tackle this task if it is still active and clearly 
defined.

AFAICS what you want is a menu item under Help that gives 
a directory listing of user.home (independent of the 
operating system) and allows you to interrogate the files 
underneath it and see their relevance to JCP (or possibly 
Jmol). If the user has no plugins then this menu would 
prompt them as to where to add the plugin without having to 
know about user.home, etc. 

Also is there any way that plugins can identify their purpose 
(e.g. a mini-help file) from information within the plugin 
*.jar file? This could be offered to the user to help them 
decide what the plugins were for.

Does this make sense?

P.
