OS Detection

  Asked By: Maria    Date: Nov 27    Category: Java    Views: 594
  

Maybe this is a feature than's not suppose to be part of Java, but
I'd like to detect the operating system the JVM is running on.
Anyone have any sample code that does this?

use System.getProperty(String key). Look at the docs for System class to see
all the keys. This will show your OS name, architecture and version:

public class GetProperties {
public static void main(String [] args) {
System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.name"));
System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.arch"));
System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.version"));
}
}
