Current Directory is my user's folder...

[danoc93]

Hi, I have a program that creates a file with the name config.dat, but instead of placing it in the folder where jar is, it places it under my C:/Users/User folder, which is not something I want...

The line I use is: 1. FileWriter file = new FileWriter ("config.dat");

If I use: 2. FileWriter filewriter = new FileWriter ("/config.dat"); the file goes to C:/

If I use: 3. String currentDir = new File(".").getAbsolutePath(); File file = new File(currentDir, "config.dat"); FileWriter filewriter = new FileWriter (file); I get the same problem of the first line...

I read Java doesn't consider the currentdirectory as the one where the .class was run from, but the one that called the jvm...

I don't know what to do, please help me a little bit.

I tried this:

String ubicacion = new File(".").getCanonicalPath();

File archivo = new File (ubicacion, "config.dat");

Not working either, same thing than numer 1.
