Default Directory

   <source lang="java">

import java.io.File; import javax.swing.JFileChooser; import javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView; public class MainClass {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
   JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
   FileSystemView view = chooser.getFileSystemView();
   System.out.println("The default directory is " + view.getDefaultDirectory());
 }

}</source>

Home Directory

   <source lang="java">

import java.io.File; import javax.swing.JFileChooser; import javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView; public class MainClass {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
   JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
   FileSystemView view = chooser.getFileSystemView();
   System.out.println("The home directory is " + view.getHomeDirectory());
 }

}</source>

Root list with File.listRoots()

   <source lang="java">

import java.io.File; public class MainClass {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
   File[] roots = File.listRoots();
   for (int i = 0; i < roots.length; i++) {
     System.out.println(roots[i]);
   }
 }

}</source>

The roots of this filesystem

   <source lang="java">

import java.io.File; import javax.swing.JFileChooser; import javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView; public class MainClass {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
   JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
   FileSystemView view = chooser.getFileSystemView();
   System.out.println("The roots of this filesystem are: ");
   File[] roots = view.getRoots();
   for (int i = 0; i < roots.length; i++) {
     System.out.println("  " + roots[i]);
   }
 }
