How to obtain a name of a current folder?

Question

The thing is that System.getProperty("user.dir"); obtains a path without a current folder. So if class is stored in C:\Users\Nika\workspace\sint\src the output is C:\Users\Nika\workspace\sint. What should I do?

What do you mean by _current folder_? The name of the directory in which the JVM is executing? If so `new File(".").getName()`. — hmjd, Aug 21 '12 at 10:14
Look. If the JAR file's full name is `D:\Projects\Compiled\Other\MyJar.jar`, I want program to output `D:\Projects\Compiled\Other\MyJar.jar`. Just that. — nicks, Aug 21 '12 at 11:05

I think this will help you if you want the current working directory:

The source directory for a .java is not stored anywhere. You can obtain the based directory of the location of the .class file by getting the protection domain, however this is usally not needed.

Perhaps what you are trying to do is get a file using the class path. In this case I would suggest using ClassLoader.getResourceAsInputStream()

Because class loader has current path to it. If yoy create jar then src path would not be valid. so append package name if classes are not in archive

Why not use getResource

URL url = Test.class.getClassLoader().getResource(Test.class.getName().concat(".class"));
System.out.println(url.getPath());
