One of those trivia that I couldn't even Google for easily, so I bit
back my automatic suggestion.

Answer:

Class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation()

Get the class object for your class, and call the above. You'll get a
URL to the location. (Remember, classes and jars can also be loaded over
the net..)
