How to get the Desktop path in java
Solution 1:
I use a french version of Windows and with it the instruction:
System.getProperty("user.home") + "/Desktop";
works fine for me.
Solution 2:
I think this is the same question... but I'm not sure!:
In java under Windows, how do I find a redirected Desktop folder?
Reading it I would expect that solution to return the user.home, but apparently not, and the link in the answer comments back that up. Haven't tried it myself.
I guess by using JFileChooser the solution will require a non-headless JVM, but you are probably running one of them.
