craftbukkit jar location

Is there an easier way to find the craftbukkit.jar location?

Atm I use:

Code:

getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource() .getLocation()

 

I belive new File("."); would give you the working directory which should be the root of the server.

Or you could go backwards from getDataFolder() by using getDataFolder() + "/../../" and root should be there.

Not 100% sure about these though, experiment.

However, why do you need it ?

 

I need the jar location ...
and not all people named the jar "craftbukkit.jar" ...
I want to support all previous and new versions of Bukkit and must read some class files from the jar ...
More soon

 

Just check CraftBukkit's version instead of doing all that hacky unreliable stuff with jar name.

Bukkit.getVersion() and Bukkit.getBukkitVersion(), see which one you need.

 

I need the JarFile object,
but thanks for the two methods

 

Do you need the package names or what ?

If you're not going to share anything of what you're doing, then do whatever you want but be aware that it's the wrong and inefficient way.

 

As I wrote, I need the class files inside the jar ...
needed for something similiar
