Hi,

While flushing user preferences, a BackingStoreException is not expected, since the current user should be able to write such preferences to the persistent storage (unlike system preferences, where current user needs to have admin rights). This fix aims at allowing a user preference node to flush any changes to the persistent storage on Mac OS X. Bug: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/viewbug.do?bugid=7184287 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~khazra/7184287/webrev.00/ Thanks, Kurchi I looked at the changes and the approach looks good to me. Hopefully this is the end of the issues with the preferences API on Mac. The only thing that doesn't seem right to me is MacOSXPreferences.java L234 where it looks like an additional brace has sneaked in.
