Alternative to Paths in Java 6?

Question

I want to retrieve the absolute path to the current directory in Java 6, but cannot use Paths.

String currentDirectory = Paths.get(".").toAbsolutePath().normalize().toString();

What is the alternative?

Answer 1

Use new File(".").getAbsolutePath()

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/io/File.html#getAbsolutePath()

Returns the absolute abstract pathname denoting the same file or directory as this abstract pathname
