[sonia pandit]

Is there a way to tell whether the current platform is linux or windows?

Thanks,

Try this . .

System.getProperty("os.name");    

[sonia pandit]

What is the return value in case of Linux and 2) in case of Windows.

Thanks

You can probably use a s.o.p to check the return value.

Sorry about that,

 
System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.name"));
