How to locate the Path of the current project directory in Java IDE

Question

I am trying to locate the path of the current running debugged project programmatically in Java  I looked in Google and what I found was System getProperty  user id    which didn t get me the project s path   I know the command Environment currentDirectory in C  gives the path of the current running debugged project so I am sure there must be a similar way in Java  too   So I am asking if anyone could tell me or give me a code to how locate the path of the currently running debugged project programmatically   edit  i am writing plugin which loads with eclipse start  the plugin adds a button to the workbench of eclipse  with in the code of the plugin when i click the button i search for the current directory path   my purpose is that when for example i debug a project and then click the button  a window will pop up presenting the debugged project s path  thanks

YOU CANT   Java-Projects does not have ONE path  Java-Projects has multiple pathes even so one Class can have multiple locations in different classpath s in one  Project     So if you have a calculator jar located in your JRE lib and one calculator jar with the same classes on a CD  if you execute the calculator jar the classes from the CD  the java-vm will take the classes from the JRE lib   This problem often comes to programmers who like to load resources deployed inside of the Project  In this case    System getResource   likebutton png      is taken for example

This is the new way to do it   Path root   FileSystems getDefault   getPath     toAbsolutePath    Path filePath   Paths get root toString    src    main    resources   fileName     Or even better   Path root   Paths get      normalize   toAbsolutePath      But I would take it one step further   public String getUsersProjectRootDirectory         String envRootDir   System getProperty  user dir        Path rootDIr   Paths get      normalize   toAbsolutePath        if   rootDir startsWith envRootDir              return rootDir        else           throw new RuntimeException  Root dir not found in user directory

Two ways  System getProperty  user dir      or this  File currentDirFile   new File       String helper   currentDirFile getAbsolutePath    String currentDir   helper substring 0  helper length   - currentDirFile getCanonicalPath   length      this line may need a try-catch block   The idea is to get the current folder with      and then fetch the absolute position to it and remove the filename from it  so from something like    home shark eclipse workspace project src com package name bin Class class   when you remove Class class you d get   home shark eclipse workspace project src com package name bin    which is kinda what you want

you can get the current project path use System getProperty  user dir    in that method you write Key name to get your different-different paths  and if you don t know key  you can find all property use of System getProperties   this method is return all property with key  and you can find key name manually from it   and write System getProperty  KEY NAME    and get your require path
