当我从终端运行Java程序时缺少属性文件

Question

To run my application i use the command

    java -jar "/home/stelios/NetBeansProjects/Askisi1/dist/Askisi1.jar"

However while i have the config.properties file in this directory

    "/home/stelios/NetbeansProjects/Askisi1/config.properties"

it runs normally in netbeans but when i try to run it from the terminal it produces this error

    java.io.FileNotFoundException: config.properties (No such file or directory)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:138)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:97)
    at askisi1.MainThread.main(MainThread.java:237)

What should be the correct location for my properties file?

Answer 1

When you run you program from terminal your current folder becomes default folder for java app. So if you want your app to see config.properties you either need it to copy to current folder to go to /home/stelios/NetbeansProjects/Askisi1/ and run app from there.
