How can I get windows environment variables? Everything I look at says that I should do strMyVar = System.getProperty("envVar"); but it does not work. I am using JBuilder4 foundation.
 
You DO use system.getProperty, but you pass the actual name of the variable as a parameter. System.getProperty("Path"), for instance, gets the contents of the Path variable.
