Given how many different ways there are to get your code
activated (java -jar, java -cp, wrapper main), then my
recommendation would be:

NameOfYourClass.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getPath()

as this will locate where that class is being loaded from no matter
how it gets activated.
