#31259 — How do you set java to read properties in relative path ?

How do you set java to read properties in relative path in local file system.

I can do it absolute path but not in relative path.

There should be no difference between using a relative path and an absolute path, other than the obvious one.
Presumably your relative path is incorrect, or inaccessible for some other reason.

Without more information there really isn't much more help we can offer.

On the off chance that you mean "relative to the jar", rather than relative to your current location ( which is what a 
relative path is relative to), there was a thread about this a couple of weeks ago.

Search the archives for something to do with executable jars, and writing to files.

Dear All,

In eclipse:
I have placed my properties file in the same location as the class file. Just want to set a relative path in java to read the values from the properties file. But can't do that. I get the message:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: .\Props.properties (The system cannot find the file specified)

It works fine when I add as an absolute path wrt the file system.

Is there a specific setting in the eclipse which needs to be configured/enabled to do that ?

Put the properties file in the same directory as the root of your 
binary(compiled) class hierarchy, by default, in Kepler it's bin.

So, in Navigator view you would have

myproject
myproject/bin
myproject/bin/props.properties
myproject/bin/com
myprojecy/bin/com/mycompany
...etc

works for me
