Changing directory

843798Jun 25 2001 — edited Jun 26 2001
Hi,

Does anyone have any working examples of changing directories in UNIX using the Java Runtime api? If not, is this a bug and what is the bug number?

I have tried:

System.setProperty("user.dir", somedirectory);
Runtime.exec(some_command);

And it definitely does not work. I am using JDK 1.3 running on Solaris. My impression of Java's runtime api are getting worst after researching previous topics on this forum similar to my own over the last year. Lot's of questions and very little positive answers. There are lots of examples for NT and Windows 2000.
