How to get the current project path from eclipse using java

Question

I have a project named SampleProj in eclipse.

The project structure is mentioned as below :

SampleProj
   |  
    -- META-INF
            |
             -- dbdetails.properties

Currently,I'm reading the file like this :

FileReader reader = new FileReader("C://Workspace//SampleProj/META-INF//dbdetails.properties");

But this path is local to my system rit. So, I want to make this path generic.

So, I'm trying to keep the path like this :

FileReader reader = new FileReader("SampleProj/META-INF//dbdetails.properties");

But,I'm getting file not found exception.

How can I read this file from Project. Can anyone please help me out regarding this ...

Answer 1

You can retrieve using :

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

Then you can do it like this :

FileReader reader = new FileReader(workingDir +"//SampleProj//META-INF//dbdetails.properties");
