Find where java class is loaded from

Question

Does anyone know how to programmaticly find out where the java classloader actually loads the class from?

I often work on large projects where the classpath gets v

Answer 1

Typically, we don't what to use hardcoding. We can get className first, and then use ClassLoader to get the class URL.

        String className = MyClass.class.getName().replace(".", "/")+".class";
        URL classUrl  = MyClass.class.getClassLoader().getResource(className);
        String fullPath = classUrl==null ? null : classUrl.getPath();
