How do relative file paths work in Eclipse?

Question

So my 2009 new years resolution is to learn Java. I recently acquired \"Java for Dummies\" and have been following along with the demo code in the book by re-writing it usi

Answer 1

Yeah, eclipse sees the top directory as the working/root directory, for the purposes of paths.

...just thought I'd add some extra info. I'm new here! I'd like to help.
