I believe that he is asking for a method to get the path to the 
application code files (as ill-defined as that idea is in Java).  The 
code above will not do that unless the program is started in the 
directory that contains the application code files.

Under some operating systems and under some circumstances, a Java 
program may be started in the directory containing the code, but that 
is not in any way guaranteed.

Essentially what this program does is give you the value of the System 
property "user.dir".  A simpler way to get that is to use:

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