Question

I have an Verification.jar file which is checking some conditions in excel file. I want ot create a folder called Log at the same level where that Verification.jar is present.

Thanks in Advence………

EDIT

I am Having Folders as follows

” Verification”:- Build,dist,lib,nbproject,src,Test,build.xml

“Build” Contains Classes folder

“dist” contains Verification.jar and Lib folder

“lib” Contains library files

I want to find the path of Verification.jar and create the Folder called Output .

If i change the drive it should create the folder at the same level where Verification.jar is present.

 String path= getClass().getResource("").getPath();

Output:--getPath:/C:/Java/jdk1.6/bin/Verification/lib/

Answer 1

Use URL Class.getResource(String name) method.

package.ClassName.class.getClassLoader().getResource("package.ClassName");

Have a look at great SO thread – How to get the path of a running jar file? suggested by @Hovercraft Full Of Eels
