Get current directory and set current directory.

[dmjpro]

How do I get current directory in JAVA?
And how do I set Current Directory in JAVA?

When JVM runs a class file then what is it's current directory?
Is it the JVM running path???

Please help!

I have little doubt about your question...

Would it mean that you like to know the current directory of your program/file?

If this is what you mean,

Just create a file(tempfile maybe) and get its AbsolutePath()....

Since the returned string represents the file you have created (with its dir.)...
Just remove that filename... ( the last )....

If this is not what you mean,

Update us...

You don't even have to create a real file for that; an abstract pathname is enough:

System.out.println(new File("fronobulax").getCanonicalPath());
 

You do have to handle potential IOExceptions.

Ohh, thanks for reminding.... yah, your right...

Jos, for example, i have a class that was executed by JVM...

Can i get the directory were my executed class exists without using file?
I mean File Class?

Is it possible?

Or that was the last option?!!

There's also the FileSystemView class but it's similar to the File() solution.

Thank you JOS ...but If I want to change that path then is it possible?

I wrote you that already: set the "user.dir" property in the system properties.
Please read some relevant stuff first and only then ask: it's all in the File API
documentation. Here is my previous post.
