this.getClass().getResource(“”).getPath() returns an incorrect path

Question

I am currently making a small simple Java program for my Computer Science Final, which needs to get the path of the current running class. The class files are in the C:\\2013\\g

Answer 1

Print out absolute path for a file in your classpath i.e. build/resources/main/someFileInClassPath.txt Disclaimer, this is similar to another solution on this page that used TT.class..., but this did not work for me instead TT..getClassLoader()... did work for me.

import java.io.File;

public class TT {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {    
        String path = TT.getClassLoader().getResource("someFileInClassPath.txt").getPath();
        File file = new File(path);
        System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath());

    }

}
