We are trying to get the current class path of our Java program which
is installed to c:\program files\my program\. In case the path
changes, we need to get the new path. Everytime we use the
java.lang.System.getProperty("user.dir"), we get the jdk directory
path opposed to our program path.
Could anyone tell me how to get the class path and not the jdk path?
Thanks in advance

maybe this can help you :
System.getProperty("java.class.path")

new File(".").getCanonicalPath(); or for most applications
new File(".").getAbsolutePath(); will work.

Hmm. Not sure exactly what you are trying to do from your description.
Are you trying to get the current working directory?
Try this code and see if it works for you.
/**
* Returns a string consisting of the current working directory.
*
* @since JToolkit 0.2
*/
public static String getCWD()
{
// [idea courtesy of <a href="mailto:travis@nrg.org.invalid">Travis Thornhill</a>]
File file;
int index;
String pathSeparator;
String cwd = null;
file = new File( "." );
pathSeparator = File.separator;
index = file.getAbsolutePath().lastIndexOf( pathSeparator );
try
{
cwd = file.getAbsolutePath().substring( 0, index );
}
catch ( StringIndexOutOfBoundsException e )
{
System.err.println( "Caught Exception: " + e.getMessage() + "\n" );
}
return cwd;
}

I'm needing the same thing here, but none of this solutions worked.
They return other paths, instead of the current class one.
Any other ideas??
