Get active execution location

The returned file will either contain the folder from where your program is running or the executable jar file, if your program is an executable jar.

I'm using Main.class because this code is in my main method (which is in the class 'Main'). You can replace Main.class by getClass() if you want to use this code in a non-static method.

  1. try {
  2. 	File jarFile = new File(Main.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().toURI());
  3. } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
  4. 	//do some error handling here
  5. }
