title: When I launch my java application, can I get the path on my linux console?
body: <p>When I launch my Java application from the command line, I would like to know the place in the file system the console was at before I call my script. I basically want to know my pwd from inside the Java application, is this possible? I do not see anything in System.getProperty(""). The user.dir property does not work, it just gives me the location of where my .project file is for my Eclipse project.</p>
  
  <p>I am able to get the right path within my python script with os.getcwd(), but I cannot figure out yet how to get that path into my Java program.</p>
