Platform

java.lang.Object
- processing.app.Platform

Direct Known Subclasses:

Platform, Platform, Platform
```
public class Platform
extends java.lang.Object
```
Used by Base for platform-specific tweaking, for instance finding the sketchbook location using the Windows registry, or OS X event handling. The methods in this implementation are used by default, and can be overridden by a subclass, if loaded by Base.main(). These methods throw vanilla-flavored Exceptions, so that error handling occurs inside Base. There is currently no mechanism for adding new platforms, as the setup is not automated. We could use getProperty("os.arch") perhaps, but that's debatable (could be upper/lowercase, have spaces, etc.. basically we don't know if name is proper Java package syntax.)

    Set the default L & F. While I enjoy the bounty of the sixteen possible exception types that this UIManager method might throw, I feel that in just this one particular case, I'm being spoiled by those engineers at Sun, those Masters of the Abstractionverse. It leaves me feeling sad and overweight. So instead, I'll pretend that I'm not offered eleven dozen ways to report to the user exactly what went wrong, and I'll bundle them all into a single catch-all "Exception". Because in the end, all I really care about is whether things worked or not. And even then, I don't care.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.Exception - Just like I said.
  - init
```
public void init(Base base)
```
  - getSettingsFolder

public java.io.File getSettingsFolder()
                               throws java.lang.Exception
```
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.Exception
  - getDefaultSketchbookFolder
```
public java.io.File getDefaultSketchbookFolder()
                                        throws java.lang.Exception
```
    Returns:
    if not overridden, a folder named "sketchbook" in user.home.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.Exception - so that subclasses can throw a fit
  - openURL
