I need to work with relative path, Thanks.

Answer 1

To work with a relative path to your file, you can use:
File fo = new File("src/main/resources/csv/skip.csv"); // should work on windows
This assumes you are running your JVM in the directory containing src/main/resources, which is usually the root directory of a typical maven project.
Hope this helps.
