> System.setProperty("user.dir", "/somewhereElse");
> System.out.println(relativeFile.getAbsolutePath());
> {noformat}
> pre jdk11, the code above will print out "/somewhereElse/abc.txt" even though the relativeFile object still point to the file under the old user.dir. But in jdk11, the above code will print out "old user.dir/abc.txt".
> dynamically change user.dir never worked reliably pre jdk11, in jdk11, it's made very clear that this won't work anymore.
