JFileChooser start in .jar directory

Hi!

I'm using a JFileChooser to save a file, but I want the JFileChooser to start in the same directory where the application jar is...

For example, if the jar of my application name is "Test.jar" and is saved in "c:\app\test.jar", I want the JFileChooser to start in "c:\app\".

I've tried to do this but It didn't work:

Quote:

---

fc.setCurrentDirectory(new File(Juego.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSour ce().getLocation().getPath()));

---

where fc is the file chooser...

Any idea??? I googled it but I couldn't find anything.

thanks!

I went through a lot of trouble
trying to figure this one out
when I first began using
JFileChooser. It's not in the
Java Tutorials.

The answer, if I understand
your problem, is very simple
and plain.

Code:

---

//    fc = new JFileChooser("app");                          // this works
//    fc.setCurrentDirectory(new File("."));                // this works
//    fc.setCurrentDirectory(fd.getAbsolutePath());    // this doesn't

---

Thank you!!

It worked like a charm!

I spent hours trying to figure out this!!

bye!
