Getting plugin-folder path

Hey, I want to develop a little economy plugin, and need to save files. I know how to save them, but how can I get the bukkit/plugins folder path?
Thanks in advance,

in your main class you can use "getDataFolder()" to return the path to the plugins folder.

 

Thanks ;D
But it creates a folder called "null" next to "plugins"... Is that my fault?

 

if you just use getDataFolder() and nothing else, it shouldn't be your fault.

 

I get a wierd error when I try using this:

Code:

File file = new File(this.getdataFolder(), "randomFile.txt");

For some wierd reason it creates the file inside the mina directory (where craftbukkit is) is this some sort of bug atm or am I doing something wrong?

I also use this:

file.createNewFile()

 

In my case (I use getDataFolder() + "/ikColony/accounts/") the same happens. It creates the folder bukkit/null/ikColony/accounts/... Whyever.. So, I looked into it, and saw that dataFolder is set to null, and afterwards set by bukkit (initialize method). So, I'll look into this init method now.. Okey, the PluginLoader sets it to jarfile.getParentFile() + "/pluginName/"; ... So, no idea why it's null.

@Edit 4021321: You need to set it in onEnabled(); and not in the instance-variables... That worked for me, at least.

 

e (I use getDataFolder() + "/ikColony/accounts/")
replace this with
getDataFolder()+File.separator+"accounts"<this will create the folder accounts. provided you save it afterwards
