Java & Mac - How to write a file to relative path

I'm on a mac with a script that's writing files to the Documents folder. But I want to be able to write it where I can send it to my friends and they don't have to change the file's path.

File myFile = new File("Users/MyName/Documents/Test/user.text/");

Is there a way where I can make it relative where I don't have to switch around the MyName to whatever the next person PC's name is?

The system property 'user.home' is the magic you're looking for. Unfortunately, there is no OS-agnostic way to determine 'the documents' folder, probably because that is not a universal concept.

You can always just do a quick check if it is there, and if so, use it. Also, there's a new file API, I suggest you use that.

Putting it together:

Path p = Paths.get(System.getProperty("user.home"));
Path candidate = p.resolve("Documents");
if (!Files.isDirectory(candidate)) candidate = p.resolve("My Documents");
if (!Files.isDirectory(candidate)) candidate = p;
p = p.resolve("Test").resolve("user.text");
Files.createDirectories(p.getParent());
Files.write(p, "Hello!");

For anyone who's having trouble with @rzwitserloot answer with the ("user.home") solution, Here's what works for me. It's a little messy but it's what works.

public class WritingFile {

	static String data = "This is THe DATA in the output file from a jar. Did it work!?!!";
	//static String paths;
	static String full;
	//static String tester = "/Users/226331/Documents/Test/filesname.txt/";
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		pathMaker();
		makeFile();
	}

	public static void pathMaker() {
		//Path path = new Paths.get("test.txt");
		String paths = System.getProperty("user.home");
		System.out.println(paths);
		//System.getenv(paths);
		//System.out.println(paths);
		
		full = paths + "/Documents/Test/filesname.txt/";
		System.out.println(full);
	}
	public static void makeFile() {
		try {
		      // Creates a FileWriter
		    	File myFile = new File(full);
		    FileWriter output = new FileWriter(myFile);

		      // Writes the string to the file
		      output.write(data);

		      // Closes the writer
		      output.close();
		    }

		    catch (Exception e) {
		      e.getStackTrace();
		      e.printStackTrace();
		    }
	}
	
}
