How can I get an absolute path of a directory containing a file specified:
// current dir is "/home/me/dev" File file = new File("./target/test.txt"); assert absolute(file).equals("/home/me/dev/target"); It's Java 6.
You mean the methods in the documentation?
File file = new File("./target/test.txt"); String dirPath = file.getAbsoluteFile().getParentFile().getAbsolutePath() assert dirPath.equals("/home/me/dev/target");
