I have a class which is attempting to load an XML document from the file system of the machine its operating on and then process it. I'm loading it into a JDOM document which takes either a java.net.URL or a java.io.FILE object as a parameter. I can get it to work if I pass in an absolute path/URL, but I can't figure out how to do using a relative URL.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.

Java EE

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
