Hello,

i need to get the full path of the JRE running my program. I thought i
could get the java executable path, but how ?

1/ String.class.getClassLoader() returns null

...

last/ sun specific : the System property "sun.boot.library.path"

Any better way plz ?

Why? What are you trying to achieve?

Spelling words like 'please' fully, is generally considered
a better way to get people to read and reply to posts,
around here.

That's not the path to the executable, but to the Java installation.
Typically the executable is in the bin/ subdirectory of $JAVA_HOME, and also
the jre/bin/ subdirectory.
