find the executable jar file location in java

Is is possible to find my executable jar file running location, from that jar file jave code,

For example I may run one particular jar file from d:\test\finloc.jar, It should print the path as

  d:\\test

I may run from C:\users\GJ\Documents\findloc.jar, then its output should be like

  C:\\users\GJ\\Documents\\

Following code outputs the path from where the application starts.
In your case, the jar file.

System.getProperty("user.dir");
