Description P P CLA 2012-01-01 05:11:37 EST 
When running ALDoc from inside Eclipse, the ajdocworkingdir is created inside the Eclipse application bundle : in the Contents/MacOS/ subfolder.

This is really bad practice since an application bundle is not supposed to be writable for that kind of purpose and the Applications folder itself may be not writable by current user either (and think about future Lion and above security context that may generate "virus" like alerts…)

The ajdocworkingdir path should be configurable somewhere: and if it is already, this should be better documented.
