changing working dir in Java

How do I change the current working directory in Java? Because right now I
am working on a servlet which is going to call a C++ program using JNI. And
the current working directory needs to be changed. But the System.setProperty("user.dir",
"c:\mydir"); does not work. Please help. Thanks.

I think you need to add another slash like "c:\\mydir";
