how to get the project path in eclipse?

Question

I need to write the the processed data to a particular path within the project folder. When i tried this I got access denied error. Also this code is giving me weblogic server path. not the eclipse project path

FileOutputStream out;
System.out.println(new File(".").getAbsolutePath());
out = new FileOutputStream(new File(".").getAbsolutePath());
workbook.write(out);
out.close();
System.out.println("write_demo.xlsx written successfully on disk.");

I want write the file to the following path:

project-folder/war/write_demo.xlsx

How do i do that?

Put the folder into new File(). out = new FileOutputStream(new File("project-folder/war/write_demo.xlsx")); — Hans1984, Jul 13 '15 at 09:50
you are running your application from eclipse or deployed war in weblogic? — Kanagaraj M, Jul 13 '15 at 09:51
@Kanagaraj: i am deploying the war on weblogic and then running — coder, Jul 13 '15 at 09:55
That's why you are getting the weblogic path and it correct only... — Kanagaraj M, Jul 13 '15 at 11:03

I know that this question it's quite old but I thought it might still be useful.

// Assuming that eclipseProject is a IJavaProject
IProject prog = eclipseProject.getProject();

for(String key: prog.getPathVariableManager().getPathVariableNames())
    System.out.println(key);

The code above will print out the keys to a Map that contains several useful absolute paths. In my case, the output is:

PROJECT_LOC 
WORKSPACE_LOC 
ECLIPSE_HOME 
PARENT_LOC

So the code to get the absolute path of the project is:

prog.getPathVariableManager().getURIValue("PROJECT_LOC").getPath()

This code is going to work also (and especially) if the project is not actually located in the workspace but it's located elsewhere and it has been imported.

Hope that it can be useful :)

Projects need not be located in the user home. – SpaceTrucker Jul 13 '15 at 09:48
@SpaceTucker: System.getProperty("user.home") will return the user home. System.getProperty("user.dir") returns the directory in which the program is actually started. – Denis Lukenich Jul 13 '15 at 10:01
user.dir gave me weblogic serve path. and user.home gave me c:\users\ron. Not want i needed – coder Jul 13 '15 at 10:20
That statement just gives the server path, not the project path. – Drumnbass Mar 08 '16 at 20:16
