I have compiled and created the jar file for my project made in Java Swing with JavaFX.
Now I want to run the project on Linux . For it I have to run my setup on Linux and it picks the directory path from the windows with System.getProperty("user.dir");
I want the equivalent command in Linux.

    System Properties is common for all operating systems.System.getProperties("user.dir"); return your execution directory (where you run the main class) in execution.

    Answer for you comment :

    1. Keep your executable in user directory /home/userName.
    2. If your jar has a main class and that can run without any parameters, just double on the jar to get swing UI
    3. If you need to pass parameters thru command line, create an sh file like run.sh with
      java -jar yourjarName.jar argument1 argument2 ...
    4. Open command prompt and run sh run.sh
