Java question

in a java program how do you find out the path of the directory where the program is run from i.e. the class file, the current working directory is always the location of the java.exe program.

Try this:
String currentDirectory = System.getProperty("user.dir");

Failing that you could specify resources in a properties file. The above should work though.
