[Jabref-users] Reset JabRef to factory settings

[Martin A. <son...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am using JabRef under Ubuntu Linux 10.04 in version 2.5 (repositories) 
and version 2.6 (jar file). I experimented a bit with customizing the 
default entry types of a database (arbitrarily adding and removing 
items) and later wanted to undo all these changes. But unfortunately 
these settings are remembered even after starting a new database, and 
even after uninstalling and re-installing JabRef.

Therefore I tried to locate the directory/file with the settings of 
JabRef on my harddisk. But it seems that JabRef does not have its own 
settings folder, and instead saves to the .java folder where the 
settings of Java programs live. It is difficult to tell which of the 
files in this folder belong to JabRef, so I didn't dare to delete any.

What is the easiest way to revert JabRef to its vanilla settings without 
deleting the entire .java folder? If there is no easy way, then I would 
like to propose this as a feature request.

Thanks,
Martin
