get path of a Jar file

Show all headers | View raw

Hello,

I would like to extract a directory of a Jar file. I read the path of  
my Jar file with:

String l_jarfile = 
Class.forName("class_within_the_jar").getResource("").toString();
l_jarfile        = l_jarfile.substring(9, 
l_jarfile.lastIndexOf(".jar!")) + ".jar";

This does not work on MS Windows systems (unix and OSX work correct 
with this code).
If the Jar files is stored under a path like "C:\Users\myuser\Java 
Files\myjar.jar" (with a space)
the JarFile-Object can't locate the file, because the space within the 
directory is changed to %20

I need a solution to detect the location of a Jar File in a class. How 
can i Do this in a correct way?

Thx

Phil
