io.File relative path constructor

[Paul Wallace <pw...@twowaytv.com.au>]

 
Hi,
	A should-be easy one - I do not wish to define an absolute path
to a File as it will packaged in a JAR, therefore its path will change.
How do I construct a File relative to my src root, something like File
file = new File("/path/myFile.xml");? I tried passing in a URL, URI but
am getting:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is
not hierarchical

when I jar and run it. Am using Win XP + Java 1.5.

Thanks

Paul.
