I made a java application in NetBeans on Windows which I need to deploy on Ubuntu. In my java application I have given the path where an excel file will get saved on the click of the button. My address path is like this D://Excel. This is working fine in windows and file is getting saved at the given passed address. Now my problem is this i don't know how can I get the address path in ubuntu. Any help will be highly appreciated.

1Do you hard-code the location (*which isn't a good idea*) or ask your user the location where the file would be saved? – Sujay Nov 07 '12 at 06:09

keep all your files in Project folder that is what recommended. – Parth Soni Nov 07 '12 at 06:17

take your terminal and type
pwd
This will give your home folder path. Use that in your program.. It will be something like this /home/adarsh..

What if the file was not saved in `/home/adarsh` and some place else? Why do you think your solution would work? – Sujay Nov 07 '12 at 06:07

You should ideally pick up the location of the excel file from [Config](http://commons.apache.org/configuration/). – Srinivas Nov 07 '12 at 06:10

I think you have hard coded the locationn in your code. Create a directory in your home folder and save your excel file there. Please dont hard code the location. Its a bad practice – Konza Nov 07 '12 at 06:11
