file paths for debugging vs production [message #251408]

I want to debug a single Java class that will be reading files from
several different directories. My project source tree looks like:

FileProcessor

classes
src
java
FileProcessor.java
testFiles
SourcesA
file 1 etc.
SourcesB
file 1 etc.

I use Ant to create a distribution directory that looks like:
dist
FileProcessor.class
SourcesA
file1 etc.
SourcesB
file2 etc

When I debug in Eclipse the root file path is
C:\eclipse-SDK-3.2-win32\workspace\FileProcessor

I want the root path to be
C:\eclipse-SDK-3.2-win32\workspace\FileProcessor\dist

Is this possible?

Thanks for any help or advice,

Note: this is not really an Eclipse-specific question; it should really
be asked on a general Java forum.
If you read your files via Class.getResource() or
Class.getResourceAsStream(), then the paths are relative to the
application's classpath and you don't have to worry about the absolute path.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Eric,

Thanks for the reply, it helped a lot. I didn't realize that you could
read files with the Class class. That really simplifies things.
