Any other ways to change directory in Java Application??

Question

As Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cd ..") won't work in Java
application, are there no other ways to change the current directory.
Let's say the current directory is C:\test, and you run Test1.class
C:\test\java Test1
In Test1.java, you try to change the current directory to C:\helloworld.
Is it possible???

Answer 1

y do you want to chnge the current dir???
if you want to access files then u can do that from ur current directory. simply create a file object using the absolute file path to the file
for example if u r thinking of writing to a file located in c:\file and ur program is currently in c:\myProgram then u just have to create a file object
file f = new file("c:\\file");
then create ur input or ouput streams using this file object and you can do wat u want with it.
even if you dont want to read or write to a file im sure you can use the absolute path to do wat you want without changing the current working dir.
