Using System path in Spring Boot application.properties

Question

In the actual production and development servers, the base path is set with the code below.

private static String FILE_DIR = System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "FILES";

I want to move this code to application.properties.

Is there a way to use a path like System.getProperty in application.properties?

Sorry for such a novice question

I tried the following in application.yml and it worked.

filedir: ${user.dir}${file.separator}FILES

And then

@Value("${filedir}") private String fileDir;

Please let me know it it wrks for you.

${user.dir} worked very successfully. Unfortunately ${file.separator=='\\' ?/:\\} didn't work, but ${file.separator} worked instead. Thanks for your help.

I voted up your answer. But edit it please. Note that ${file.separator} is enough.
