public class SystemProperties
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
File f = new File("SystemProperties.xml");
//if creating a file called SystemProperties.xml, if returns false, exception will be thrown
if(!f.createNewFile())
{
throw new Exception("Exception encoutered may be due to the file already exist.");
}
Properties prop = System.getProperties();
// opening file in print stream so that later this stream will be used to write
PrintStream pst = new PrintStream(f.getName());
// Passing three parameters to the storeToXML.
//1. printstream
//2. Comment to the XML File
//3. encoding format
prop.storeToXML(pst,"System Properties details", "UTF-8");
System.out.println("Sucessfully dumped the System Details to the file: " +f.getName());
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Error: "+e.getMessage());
}
}
