How to get curent class'es .jar location (directory, path)

Nice trick.

private String getBaseDirectory()
{
   String name = super.getClass().getName();
   int lastdot = name.lastIndexOf('.');
   if (lastdot != -1) {
     name = name.substring(lastdot + 1);
   }

   URL url = super.getClass().getResource(name + ".class");
   return getURLDirName(url);
}

Nowadays, however, it often leads somewhere to the Maven repository :)
