System.getProperty("name of property");

Wrong. That gives you a system property (JVM). It does not give you an OS environment variable. There is no way that I know of to do this.

If you use jvm's before 1.3, and if the OS has env vars (not all do) then you can use System.getenv().If not then the closest one can get is to pass in on the command line via -D
