           Summary: Fix for ImageJ so that preferences are stored in an
                    area other than the installation space. This may
                    require a change to ImageJ source code.

(2) Fix for ImageJ so that preferences are stored in an area other than the
installation space. This may require a change to ImageJ source code.

The issue here is that the preferences are saved relative to the ImageJ jar
file, and the jar file is often stored in a real-only area. Solving problem (1)
will not solve this problem. A good solution if (1) is solved by downloading
added modules in a local area would be to perhaps isolate ImageJ to its own
module. Alternatively, the code of ImageJ could be changed to handle saving
preferences differently, but this would cause maintenance issues.
