How to get the path of a running JAR file?

Answer 1

This code worked for me:

private static String getJarPath() throws IOException, URISyntaxException {
    File f = new File(LicensingApp.class.getProtectionDomain().().getLocation().toURI());
    String jarPath = f.getCanonicalPath().toString();
    String jarDir = jarPath.substring( 0, jarPath.lastIndexOf( File.separator ));
    return jarDir;
  }
