If you run this (snitched from the book justJava)
// Show how to read and write property files
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class y {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
//String p = System.getProperty("os.version"); // get one property
//System.out.println("ver="+p);
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Properties P = new Properties(System.getProperties());
System.getProperties().save(bos,"basic props");
DataOutputStream ds = new DataOutputStream(bos);
ds.writeBytes("awt.image.incrementaldraw=true\n");
ds.writeBytes("awt.image.redrawrate=50\n");
ds.close();
byte[] tmp = bos.toByteArray();
ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(tmp);
P.load(bis);
System.setProperties(P);
System.getProperties().list(System.out); // list all properties
} catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
}
}
you will get a list of all properties. Amongst them you will find file and
path separators: use these and don't care what you're running on. By using
these properties, youa void the possibility of being caught out with a
system that you've not heard of.
