// Assuming that you have done this.
CWProject.instance().setFrontendName("jsword-app”); // Or whatever you like.

This should be:
CommonUtils.ensureDirExists(MetaDataLocator.FRONTEND.getWriteLocation());
or
MetaDataLocator.FRONTEND.getWriteLocation().mkdirs();

The intention is that the frontend does not have to create the directories. It should be created by JSword. That is how MetaDataLocator was commented.

So, BookMetaData.putProperty should try to create the folders and files. It should log an error if they can’t be created, but not throw an IOException.
