getting paths and directories

[marco]

hey i am working on a massive RPG i want to put online, and right now i have to run it on the applet (on my desktop) with the entire filepath, and i have a variable there

private final String FILEPATH = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Desktop\\RPG\\";

now if it goes online i would have to change the filepath to "www.w/e the site will be.com\\" and recompile which would be a total pain!!!

is there anyway that i could make the FILEPATH variable just get the current directory it is in?

I think you can put the files in that path into a jar and load from the jar in the same way.

nah coz if i want to update the graphics and the pics and the scripts being imported i dont wanna go thru opening the jar lol

I'm also having this problem but in relation to a JFileChooser. I've searched the api and the java tutorials but can't figure out how to get the opendialog box to open with the cwd displayed. as in the directory where my class file that i'm instantiating the JFileChooser from lives. help please!
