Obtain path of jar when running inside a .app on mac os x

Question

I've my javafx jar running inside a .app. Now if I execute System.getProperty("user.dir") I get location of user home i.e. /Users/DevAccount/ where DevAccount is system user name instead of location of .app file or .jar file. How do I find where the .app is actually running from at runtime?

Alternatively please suggest how to set java.library.path to a folder within a .app bundle.

Note: If I run jar outside .app I'm able to set java.library.path as desired but when .app is run, user.dir system property does not return desired value.

Answer 1

Actually javafxpackager by default sets java.library.path to .app/Contents/Java

So System.getProperty("java.library.path") itself can give the required path.

P.S.: @SO Admins, Surprised to see lack of response for most of my questions. Am I doing something wrong?
