Get Classpath example

With this example we are going to demonstrate how to get the classpath using the System class. The System class contains several useful class fields and methods. Among the facilities provided by the System class are standard input, standard output, and error output streams, access to externally defined properties and environment variables, a means of loading files and libraries, and a utility method for quickly copying a portion of an array. In short, to get the classpath you should:

  • Use getProperty(String key) API method of System, with the String key of java class path to get the classpath name.

Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:

package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;

public class JavaClasspath {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

  System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.class.path"));
    }
}

Output:

This was an example of how to get the classpath in Java.
