jpackaged applications support both system-wide and per-user configuration.

jpackage application launcher will look up the corresponding .cfg file not only in the application installation directory (the system-wide installation location) but also in user-specific locations. User-specific directories for .cfg file look up are:

Linux
~/.local/${PACKAGE_NAME}
~/.${PACKAGE_NAME}

macOS
~/Library/Application Support/${PACKAGE_NAME}

Windows
%LocalAppData%\%PACKAGE_NAME%
%AppData%\%PACKAGE_NAME%

where ${PACKAGE_NAME} and %PACKAGE_NAME% refer to jpackaged application name.
