The method shown below returns as a String the complete path to the current (working) directory. This can be useful to know because default files(including property files) are read from and written to the current (working) directory.
public static String getCurrentDirectory() { String sFilePath = (newFile("junk")).getAbsolutePath(); // example:D:fooFG_Project_Codejunk String sPathOnly = sFilePath.substring(0,(sFilePath.length() - 4 ) ); // example:D:fooFG_Project_Code return sPathOnly; }
