This code example shows how to retrieve the properties and how to enumerate through and print them out to the console.
import java.util.Enumeration; import java.util.Properties; /** * * @author javadb.com */ public class Main { /** * Lists the system properties */ public void listSystemProperties() { Properties prop = System.getProperties(); Enumeration enumeration = prop.keys(); while (enumeration.hasMoreElements()) { String key = (String) enumeration.nextElement(); System.out.println(key + " = " + prop.getProperty(key)); } } /** * @param args the command line arguments */ public static void main(String[] args) { new Main().listSystemProperties(); } }
