How to get an operating system in Java

I know there is such a question on SO, but I couldn't find it. So ask again ...

I need to set up properties for my program, but I need to make it OS indipendent - working on both Windows XP and Linux (unknown distribution, unknown version)

Specifically - I need to set up a system where the binary can be found chromedriver

. I need something like this pseudocode:

 if (getOs() == Windows){
    System.setProperty(ChromeDriverService.CHROME_DRIVER_EXE_PROPERTY, "chromedriver.exe");
   } else{
     System.setProperty(ChromeDriverService.CHROME_DRIVER_EXE_PROPERTY, "chromedriver");
   }

Now I need the part to get the OS. Thanks for the help.

You can use the utility class I wrote, you just need to copy the following class to your project

https://github.com/aurbroszniowski/os-platform-finder/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jsoftbiz/utils /OS.java

Then execute:



import org.jsoftbiz.utils.OS;

    OS myOS = OS.getOs ();

    myOS.getPlatformName ()

    myOS.getName ()
    myOS.getVersion ()
    myOS.getArch ()
