One of those trivia that I couldn't even Google for easily, so I bit 
back my automatic suggestion.

Answer:

  Class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation()

Get the class object for your class, and call the above. You'll get a 
URL to the location. (Remember, classes and jars can also be loaded over 
the net..)
