Is it possible to run a java application from the command line and specifying a working directory for it?

I tried using the -Duser.dir argument like this: 

java -Duser.dir=<some directory> -jar <some jar>

but it didn't help...

Just add a path of your app to the classpath and run the app:

java -classpath <path to your app> <your app file name>
