Using FileOutputStream for File Creation. Help Required!!

Question

Folks,
I am using the FileOutputStream to create a file.For this I am
saying:
FileOutputStream fout2 = new FileOutputStream("Name.txt");
This creates the File in the Current directory of the IDE(JBuilder 5).
I want to create ths File in the a logs directory,taking the
relative path.
So I want the File to be created as ./logs/Filename.txt??
How do I set the relative path in the FileOutputStream ??
Can anyone please respond?

Yes, "." does not coincide with the classes directory, especially when starting the application from an IDE.
Take a look at the system properties for some directories:
System.getProperties().list(System.out);
System.putProperty("user.dir", "...");For your means I would abuse the ClassLoader, and specify a full path, and start to patch a file name from it:
java.net.URL u = this.getClass().getResource(".../x.gif");
