System.getProperty("user.dir")

今天写一个小程序，需要获取当前项目的根目录。百度搜索得知System.getProperty("user.dir")该方法可以做到。看到这行代码不由让我思考：“user.dir”是一个什么玩意？System.getProperty("key")该方法到底有多少个key？于是经过对api的研究，发现了System.getProperties()这个方法可以获取到所有的key值;代码如下：

public void getSystemKey(){

    File sysFile = new File("d:/study","sysFile.properties");
    Properties sysPro = System.getProperties();
    try {
        sysPro.store(new FileOutputStream(sysFile), "Properties ClASS");
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
        e1.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    
}

得到的sysFile.properties文件内容如下：

关于这个user.dir，有网友说是用户工作目录，理由就是user.dir是user  directory的缩写；我觉得这个说法不对，个人理解user.dir只是一个key而已。
