Logic behind URLs in JAVA

Question

I am struggling to understand an existing piece of code, that is as follows. I can't change this piece of code and need to place this WordNet folder accordingly. I don't know where to place it in my Java project.

URL url = new URL("file:WordNet-JWI/3.0/dict");

You are using what ? Eclipse ?

Try to create a File object and print out the path of it.

URL url = new URL("file:WordNet-JWI/3.0/dict");
File f = new File(url.getFile());
System.out.println(f.getCanonicalPath());
