Tomek,

I'm new to Java, so I don't know how good this advice is, but try:

String mypath = System.getProperty("user.dir");



That gave me the name of the directory in which my test app was running.

Coverage is here:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getProperties()

and

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getProperty(java.lang.String)

Hope that helps.



Scott
