http://stackoverflow.com/questions/320542/how-to-get-the-path-of-a-running-jar-file

Gives some good advice

The solution

String path = 
Test.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getPath();
		String decodedPath = URLDecoder.decode(path, "UTF-8");

Works for me and gives me the path to the jar file containing the class 
that contains the above code.
