I'm trying to do something I thought was simple, but apparently it's not simple enough.
I'm on linux and I'm trying to write files to the current user's /home directory? Anyone know how I can do this? I was looking into System.getProperties.. but I'm not getting anywhere. Any tip would be greatly appreciated. Thanks --Chris
Thank you sir.That doesn't seem to be working for me...am I missing something here?The following doesn't print anything:
import java.util.*;
public class ShowProps {
public void ShowProps() {
System.out.println(System.getProperty("user.home"));
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
ShowProps thisProps = new ShowProps();
}
}
From the API for "System.getProperties()"
The current set of system properties for use by the getProperty(String) method is returned as a Properties object. If there is no current set of system properties, a set of system properties is first created and initialized. This set of system properties always includes values for the following keys: Key Description of Associated Value
java.versionJava Runtime Environment version
java.vendorJava Runtime Environment vendor
java.vendor.urlJava vendor URL
...
user.homeUser's home directory

On the ShowProps method/constructor-wannabe that is, not on main.
