How to locate the Path of the current project directory in Java (IDE)?

Question

I am trying to locate the path of the current running/debugged project programmatically in Java, I looked in Google and what I found was System.getProperty(\"user.id\"

Answer 1

This is a code snippet to retrieve the path of the current running web application project in java.

public String getPath() throws UnsupportedEncodingException {

    String path = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("").getPath();
    String fullPath = URLDecoder.decode(path, "UTF-8");
    String pathArr[] = fullPath.split("/WEB-INF/classes/");
    System.out.println(fullPath);
    System.out.println(pathArr[0]);
    fullPath = pathArr[0];

    return fullPath;

}
