Can't use Relative Paths fileOutputStream?

Hello Bukkit,
I'm trying to create zip files using fileOutputStream, but my relative paths don't seem to work (FileNotFoundException). Is there any way around this? This is my code:

Code:java

File zip = new File( "plugins" + File.separator + "MineVault" + File.separator + s + ".zip");
 
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(zip);

S is my string, MineVault is the plugin name.

Thanks,
ccrama

what is the goal you try to archieve?

what the exception says is that the zip file doesn't exist, FileOutputStream is used to read the file from the output you may want to use FileInputStream or FileWriter in combination with FileInputStream instead because you want to create, however the code you have now isn't enough to help you, please post more information or code and the related stacktrace.

Take a look at my code on this forum. You can even use relative paths as arguments.
