Right AFAIK, all you have to do is call System.getProperty(String OSvariable)OSvariable is a string to indicate which OS variable you are talking about E.g. PATH, CLASSPATH etc.The method returns a string that points to the contents of that variable.Hope this helps

Some variables you can?t get this way.

I made shellscript that just looked like this.

set > /yourdir/yourfile.txt

Then in my class I did Runtime.exec(shellxcript);

then you just read in "/yourdir/yourfile.txt" as Resource and load it in

a Property object.

After that you can get variables to.
