Seeing the Java version when debugging

Hi.

Is there a way to see the Java version when debugging?

Thanks,
Amnon

one way is to stop at a break point and then right click and select evaluate expression.
then type

System.getProperty("java.runtime.name") //will be something like "Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition"

System.getProperty("java.vm.version") //will be something like 1.4.1-b21


btw this is how i figured this out (just so I teach you how to fish :)

Properties p = System.getProperties();
Iterator i = p.keySet().iterator();
while(i.hasNext()){
String nxt = i.next().toString();
System.err.println("key is " + nxt + " and value is " + p.getProperty(nxt));
}

Thanks.

I wonder why do I see the Java version when I run (triangle icon) but not
when I debug (beetle icon)?

i get the same results on both if i do

System.err.println(System.getProperty("java.runtime.name"));
System.err.println(System.getProperty("java.vm.version"));


I am running an applet which kicks off the standard jdk. Are you debugging an applet, application or web component?

command line option


shows the version when the JVM starts.

I think an easier way to fish is:
System.getProperties().list(system.out);

Or press ctrl-q on the "getProperties()" part for a list of system
properties.
