2008-08-10 17:04:00 Display Name description 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). 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. 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.
