[Aslak Knutsen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1644?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12951321#comment-12951321 ] 

Aslak Knutsen commented on FORGE-1644:
--------------------------------------

The AddonRepository is associated with a Single Addon in a specific version isn't it?

How would you deal with stored data across Addon versions?
How do you get access to your own Addon info?

> If would be nice if each addon had a storage area (not temporary) to store files relevant to the addon execution. This area could live under {{USER_HOME/.forge/store/addon_name}}. 
> Here is an example code on how to access it: 
> {code}
> @Inject Addon addon;
> File storageArea = addon.getStorageDirectory();
> {code}
> Examples: 
> - The current config.xml file could be in the storage directory of the configuration addon
> - The shell specific files (export, alias, history) could be in the storage directory of the shell addon
