RE:Environment variables

Posted by Kishori Sharan on September 14, 2000 at 10:38 PM

Hi
You have to use System.getProperty ( String propertyname ) method to get the value of environment variable. For example to get the classpath you can use
String classpath = System.getProperty ( "java.class.path" ) ;

Thanx
