Using export in Java

Question

I am using java to call another program which relies on an exported environment variable to function:

SOME_VARIABLE=/home/..
export SOME_VARIABLE
         


        

Answer 1

Perhaps you can use System#setProperty(String property, String value), though I'm not sure if this will change anything outside of the current JVM, which means this environment variable will only be available to processes that the current JVM starts.
