PrintWriter masks all exceptions, so maybe your program is still 
running, but the logging has stopped. It can happen, if your local hard 
drive is out of space, but disk F: has plenty of space.

Everything is on my WinXP PC (I have multiple partitions) and I have 
about 100GB left.

The program stopped and I even tried to print a one line logg when 
clicking on a button. Nothing was printed in the log until I put the 
absolute path ...

You did not mention exactly how your are invoking your application when 
you run it outside JBuilder.  How you do this will affect the "current 
working directory", which is how relative path references are resolved.

Right now I create a bat-file in the same dir as my jar-file.
--- bat file ---
javaw -classpath 
".\classes\jdsserver.jar;.\classes\comm.jar;.\MYAPP.jar" myapp.MYAPP
--- end ---

I have just installed JBuilder 2005 Professional and now I can't use 
"./logdir/filename" inside JBuilder either ???

The current folder depends on your project configuration. Try printing 
new File("./logdir/filename").getAbsolutePath() and see what is there 
and why there can be a problem.

OK! That worked for most of the "logs".

I still have problem (that used to work?) when I call the constructor 
for my SerialPortCommunication class. Here I log what is sent to and 
read from the COMPORT. Now I get:
---
java.io.FileNotFoundException: F:\jbproject\APP\port\log.txt (The system 
cannot find the path specified)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:179)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:70)
at java.io.FileWriter.<init>(FileWriter.java:46)
...
---

I tried to create the file so I know it is there but same error. It 
seems like this thread don't know how to create, or open a file.

I noticed in WinXP that the property "read-only" was checked and gray 
but that goes for all log directories where I can write as well.

The last test was caused by me. While testing the absolute path I missed 
a character in the port path... I even thought I did a cut from Explorer 
and paste into my code to make sure I got the correct path but I 
probably missed it anyway.

It is as they say, the devil is in the details ;)
