Hi all, working on internationalizing some OS Java tools, I was wondering how to access bash export variables, one specific being LANG... The method System.getProperty() seems only to handle things like "-Dlang=en_EN" as a command line option, and yes, the wrapper could as such transfer the $LANG value to the Java program. But, is there no more direct way of accessing the $LANG var from within the Java program itself? kind regards, Egon
