GETAPPLICATIONDATADIR(APPICATIONNAME, DOCREATE, LOCAL) returns the application's data directory using the registry on windows systems or using Java on non windows systems as a string and creates the directory if missing and requested, i.e. DOCREATE = true.

COLLABORATION:
As I am not familiar with non windows operating systems please give me information about incompatibilities - I rely on JAVA in this function
