Hi,

Within JBuilder developing and testing I had the following:

logFile = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("./logs/"+filename,true));

This worked great and all logs were created and all in my "logs" directory.

Now, copy my jar, db files, etc. to a new directory (test-dir) and my 
app sometimes just hang ... I noticed it when trying to read the serial 
port since I log what I read. I could not figure it out until I tested 
to print a log before and after my init of the reading process. Nothing 
is printed.

Just to test I change the line to:

logFile = new PrintWriter(new 
FileWriter("F:/MyTestDir/TesData/"+filename,true));

And now it works like a charm ...

Why would I need an absolute path outside JBUilder but not within?

As always, I'm grateful for any and all help.

Magnus
