Find the running .jar's filename?

[AutomaticCoding]

I worked out how to find it's DIR

Main.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getPath()

But how do I find it's filename?

Why do you want to know that? It could be me but I don't see any use for it.

kind regards,

I just do, for a program I've half done making. So, how do I do it?

Because I'd rather not as it's probably frowned upon on this forum.

Have you read the API for the classes returned by those methods? No? Why not?

I still don't know why you want to know the location (file) where your class came from; it smells like bad design, but I just checked the API docs and this should be a way to do it:

Class c= Class.forName("your.complete.class.name"); // or any other way to obtain a Class object
ProtectionDomain pd= c.getProtectionDomain();
CodeSource cs= pd.getCodeSource();
		
System.out.println(cs.getLocation());
