System Property

How to retrieve System properties ?.
What are the properties has to be used while doing cross platform coding ?

We have to make use of almost all the properties comes from System.getProperties method for our development. While doing cross platform coding File.separator and path.separator and encoding are very well useful for us to get to know correct value.

Code Snippets to list out all the properties:


Properties props = System.getProperties();
Iterator it = (props.entrySet().iterator());
while (it.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry property = 
(Map.Entry<String, String>) it.next();
System.out.println(property.getKey() 
+ ": " + property.getValue());
}

In my machine, I got following properties key are set


java.runtime.name
sun.boot.library.path
java.vm.version
java.vm.vendor
java.vendor.url
path.separator
java.vm.name
file.encoding.pkg
