Utility java class to return the current OS Platform

os-platform-finder

Utility class to return the current OS Platform

The Problem?

You can get OS information in java by using

    System.getProperty("os.name");
    System.getProperty("os.version");
    System.getProperty("os.arch");

Unfortunately you can not get the detail of the OS platform. e.g. you can not get

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)

or

OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

The Solution?

The class org.jsoftbiz.utils.OS included in this project gives you the information of your OS platform

Just add this import:

    import static org.jsoftbiz.utils.OS.OS;

and you'll have access to the platform name, extra of the OS system properties:

    OS.getPlatformName()

    OS.getName()
    OS.getVersion()
    OS.getArch()

Wanna help?

I don't have access to all OSes, so if you want to help, look at the table below of tested platforms. If you have access to one non-tested platform, just get this project, create a jar

   mvn clean package

it will be located in the target directory

   target/os-platform-finder-1.0.jar

copy the jar on your OS and execute it

   java -jar os-platform-finder-1.0.jar

If it is ok, you can do a pull request on this README.md with the updated info.

If it is not ok, then please open an issue, including the details of your OS and the output of the jar execution...

Thanks!
