I have read all the other questions related to this in StackOverflow and I did not find any clear response. To cut it short, I have an application that will store some files in a directory that I will use than to process them. I have intentions of moving my app in different places (other computers) so I need to have a relative path to work with so that I will not change that in each time. Does anyone know how to get the relative path of the application (not the full path) so that I could use in this case? If what I am asking is not wright please tell me another way to achieve what I need. Thank you
Just use "./".
No matter what directory your application has been launched from, "./" will always return that directory.
For example:
new File("./") will return a file object pointed at the directory your java application has been launched from
new File("./myDirectory") will return a file object pointed at the myDirectory folder located in the directory your java application has been launched from
