Generally, tying your database location to the location of your application, which typically ends up in a JAR, is not a good idea. Instead, figure out where you want to put your database and add a reference. If necessary, you can pass the location from the command line or from a PROPERTIES file. Note that the PROPERTIES approach runs into problems if you package your application in a JAR, as you then can't modify it.
