Hot To Access An Environment Variable In Java

The method System#getenv(java.lang.String) fetches the value of an OS environment variable.

The method System#getenv might be confused with System#getProperty(java.lang.String), which only returns a Java-specific system property (-D property).

Both methods are useful for the parameterization of system / integration tests in a CI environment.

See you at Java EE Workshops at MUC Airport or on demand and in a location very near you: airhacks.io!
