What you say isn't completely accurate. It's not Eclipse's fault per se.
In fact, this has little to do with Eclipse. It's the nature of Java
file I/O. Eclipse creates a microcosm in the project of what your
program will find when running out there in the big, bad world outside
of Eclipse.
But, Eclipse can help as recounted in a very recent post you missed when
you searched this forum:
"[Eclipse's] Java Application launcher allows you to set the working
directory on the Arguments tab."
Alternatively, you can play around creating files with different path
arguments in Java until you get a feel for how best to do this.
