I would like to determine the jar file name from my java code. I found many solutions on google but nothing works. Just to see what I tried here, this is the stackoverflow forum, where a bunch of solutions are hosted : https://stackoverflow.com/a/167268/
I have Mac OS X 10.6.5.
When I enter java -version, I get this result:
java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04-307-10M3261)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03-307, mixed mode)
Thank you for your help.
Edit: I am editing my post to answer for a comment.
Some of the solutions give me a "null" value when I want the System.out.println path, and also fail when I want to create an instance of the file.
Other solutions, when I ask for a path that they don’t give, for example, file:/.....instead give something like rsch:/or something like this, I don’t know for sure, but this is a simple 4-character word.
Edit 2: I am running an executable jar from the console. And I would like to have this jar file name in the classes that are in the jar executable.
Edit 3:
4-digit word:rsrc:./
Code, how I got this:
File file = null;
try {
System.out.println(MyClass.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().toURI());
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Edit 4: I also tried this code:
package core;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.Properties;
public class MyClass {
public String getText(String key) {
String path = "" + MyClass.class.getResource("../any.properties");
File file = new File((path).substring(5, path.length()));
Properties props = readProps(file);
return props.getProperty(key);
}
private Properties readProps(File file) {
Properties props = new Properties();
InputStream in = null;
try {
in = new FileInputStream(file);
props.load(in);
in.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return props;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(new MyClass().getText("anything"));
}
}
Using this result:

This code works fine in eclipse, but when I create the runnable jar file, I think you can see the problem.
