When you click a JAR the current directoy should be that of the JAR, not your home

[Display Name]

When I click on a a jar (open it with Java) which reads some external file, it tries to find it under my home instead of the folder where the jar is located (Windows behavior). However, if I run $java -jar app.jar it works.

That is: when you click the jar, you'd expect the current directory being that in front of your face, not anywhere else, like your home.

Thank you for having taken the time to report this bug to help make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue
for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Which Java runtime do you have installed?

[Patrick Kilgore (patrick-kilgore)]

Ok, I'll pass it along to the sun-java folks to handle. I'm not an expert in this area, but you may have to report this bug to sun itself to fix, since I'm not sure how much control we have over Java's source.

Thanks for your report.
