With this example we are going to demonstrate how to get the classpath. We are using the System class, that contains several useful class fields and methods. This class cannot be instantiated. In short, to get the classpath using System class you should:
- Use the
getProperty(String key), for thejava.class.pathkey. This method gets the system property indicated by the specified key. If there is no current set of system properties, a set of system properties is first created and initialized.
Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;
public class getClassPath {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Get class path by using getProperty static method of System class
String strClassPath = System.getProperty("java.class.path");
System.out.println("Classpath is " + strClassPath);
}
}
Output:
Classpath is C:Usersjavacodegeeksworkspacesnippetsbin
This was an example of how to get the classpath in Java.
