title: System.getProperty("user.dir") anomaly in Eclipse
body: <p>In my current project settings, I have configured Eclipse to place the compiled .class files in the /bin directory.</p>
  
  <p>My puzzle is that, when I run the application via the IDE and get it to print the current working directory (System.out.println(System.getProperty("user.dir")) I expect the console output to be /bin - instead the value printed is the projectRoot folder (without the /bin suffix).</p>
  
  <p>If I were to navigate to the /bin folder directly, and execute my java class, the current working directory is printed as I expect it to be. What I would like is the Eclipse IDE to behave similarly.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas as to why I am observing this disparity? I have gone through many project build settings, but cannot seem to find anything that would cause this anomaly.</p>
  
  <p>Kind regards,
  Dinuk</p>
