This IS annoying, Sun says this about system properties: "user.dir" User working directory "user.home" User home directory Maybe you are running a different java implementation.. > Works fine if you start from the command shell in the > right directory.

I was just a little afraid of doing this right before the release as we would have limited testing, but I guess this can't go wrong.
