System.getProperty(String) might be what you are looking for ..

check http://mgrand.home.mindspring.com/java-system-properties.htm

for a list of property names

My question is how to get the java process name? when yous start any java program it runs as a process. I want to that process name? Also, is there ways to check JVM's running and how many?
