How to retrieve System Properties in Java

Here is the example of retrieving the System Properties through Java Code. In this program I have retrieved and displayed few System Properties.

The primary method which actually retrieves the property is System.getProperty(), and it takes key info as a parameter.

For details of all the System Properties and how it can be retrieved, you can visit my earlier post about How to retrieve System Properties through Java. You can generate the XML file of all the key-value pair of the properties and then you can use any if the key's from the XML file, in the below program to get the info in Java Code.
