Getting location of the java application

[sgthale]

How do you get the location of the application that you are running? Id like to get the path location it is in the form of a string so I can load all of the other images and what not. e.g. "C://My Documents//Application" blah

Jar up your application, including all the images, and use getResource, or getResourceAsStream to load the images. It's a lot easier than trying to figure out where you are.

If you need to write to files, use the System property "user.home" and create a directory under there somewhere for your application files, which is what most apps do.

get the location of the application

Do you mean where the class file is loaded from or where the current directory is when the program is executing?
The class files would be in a folder on the classpath. I think getResource could tell you.
