Run Java application and load config file

Question

I have a JAR file that I set to run when Windows starts per this question but I have a .cfg file I need to load. Is there an argument I can add to do this automatically?

Answer 1

You can add it right into your code:

File configFile = new File("path/to/file.cfg");

or get from console, for example from first argument of your programm:

File configFile = new File(args[0]);
