Program 1 - Write Program on How to find out the classpath and where all the jar's are loaded from in java >

we will find out the classpath and where all the jar's are loaded from by using System.getProperty("java.class.path").

import java.io.File;

import java.io.IOException;

/**

* Program on How to find out the classpath and where all the jar's are loaded from in java

public class FindClasspathAndWhereAllJjarAreLoadedFrom {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

* we will find out the classpath and where all the jar's are loaded from by using System.getProperty("java.class.path").

String classpath = System.getProperty("java.class.path");

// Get all class path enteries in a string array

String[] classpathEntries = classpath.split(File.pathSeparator);

System.out.println("CLASS PATH ENTERIES > ");

for (String classPathEntry : classpathEntries)

System.out.println(classPathEntry);

}

/*OUTPUT

CLASS PATH ENTERIES >

E:\workspace\FileHandling\bin

E:\java jars\commons\commons-io-1.3.2.jar

Output of program may vary on different systems depending on jars configured in classpath.

Program 2 - Write Program on How to find out the classpath and where all the jar's are loaded from in java >

we will find out the classpath and where all the jar's are loaded from by getting urls from classLoader.

import java.io.IOException;

import java.net.URL;

import java.net.URLClassLoader;

/**

* Program on How to find out the classpath and where all the jar's are loaded from in java

public class FindClasspathAndWhereAllJjarAreLoadedFrom2 {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

* we will find out the classpath and where all the jar's are loaded from by getting urls from classLoader

ClassLoader classLoader = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();

URL[] urls = ((URLClassLoader) classLoader).getURLs();

for (URL url : urls) {

System.out.println(url.getFile());

}

/*OUTPUT

/E:/workspace/FileHandling/bin/

/E:/java%20jars/commons/commons-io-1.3.2.jar

Output of program may vary on different systems depending on jars configured in classpath.
