This is an example of how to obtain the System Properties. We are using the RuntimeMXBean, that is the management interface for the runtime system of the Java virtual machine. Getting the System Properties implies that you should:
- Get the JVM’s thread system bean, that is the RuntimeMXBean, using the
getRuntimeMXBean()API method of ManagementFactory. - Get the Map of the properties, using
getSystemProperties()API method of RuntimeMXBean. - Iterate over the entries of the map and print the properties.
Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;
import java.lang.management.ManagementFactory;
import java.lang.management.RuntimeMXBean;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;
public class SystemProperties {
public static void main(String[] args) {
RuntimeMXBean bean = ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean();
// Create a Map that holds all the properties
Map<String, String> properties = bean.getSystemProperties();
// Take all the keys from the Map and store them to a Set of keys
Set<String> keys = properties.keySet();
// For every key obtain information
for (String key : keys) {
String value = properties.get(key);
System.out.println("Property["+ key +"] = " + value);
}
}
}
