      How do I find the directory containing my application
      public static File getApplicationDirectory( Class clas ) {
   ProtectionDomain pd = clas.getProtectionDomain();
   if ( pd == null ) return null;
   CodeSource cs = pd.getCodeSource();
   if ( cs == null ) return null;
   URL url = cs.getLocation();
   if ( url == null ) return null;
   return new File( url.getFile() ).getParentFile();
      }
      This will return the directory that contains the JAR file that
contains the specified class. If the class is in a directory tree, it will
return the parent of the class root directory, so in a typical JBuilder
configuration (with Classes under the project directory), you will get the
project directory.
      Note that it is apparently possible for this to return null under some
circumstances. I have heard of one person who got a null CodeSource, but I
do not know under what circumstances that happens. It has always worked for
me.
