the admin directory

Whenever you start any of the wodka applications the first time a wodka directory is generated in your user home directory. Within the wodka directory an admin directory is created that holds a wodka.properties fle. This file will be the main source for configuration for all wodka applications in the future. Detailed infos about the properties can be found in the properties file itself.
