I want to use my project dir to run the code when I wrote following command, 

public static String userDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");

its returns me my Eclipse Dir path instead of my workspace path. I tried almost all the ways from here, but couldn't manage to solve the problem. I also tried 

Path currentRelativePath = Paths.get("");
    String s = currentRelativePath.toAbsolutePath().toString();
    System.out.println("Current relative path is: " + s);

but it also display same result.

It points to the dir where Java starts from. You are starting your app from Eclipse so it shows Eclipse dir. Try to export jar and run by java -jar my.jar.

  • Thanks, I tried to run via Eclipse previously, it was successfully run later I deploy the code in Mercurial and then this error comes up. – promitheus Jan 17 '17 at 09:35

Open 'Run > Run Configuratons...'.

Find your program in the 'Java Application' section.

On the 'Arguments' tab look at the 'Working directory' section and change this to what you want.
