OSInformation

jlibs.core.lang.OS(source) is an enum from JLibs;

This enum contains values for each type of OS. for example: WINDOWS_NT, WINDOWS_98, LINUX, SOLARIS etc...

Usage:

import jlibs.core.lang.OS;



OS myos = OS.get();

System.out.println(myos);

On my laptop, it prints MAC

you can also check whether your os is windows or unix;

OS myos = OS.get();

System.out.println("isWindows: "+myos.isWindows());

System.out.println("isUnix: "+myos.isUnix());

On my laptop, it prints:

isWindows: false

isUnix: true

When your OS is not recognized, OS.get() returns OS.OTHER;

There is another usefult method which might be required rarely;

String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");

OS os = OS.get(osName);

This might be handy, if your app is distributed and and want to find out the os of other JVM process
