你可以使用sun.awt.OSInfo#getOSType()方法

我喜欢沃尔夫冈的回答，只是因为我相信这样的事情应该是consts……

所以我把它重新措辞了一下，并想分享一下:)

public enum OSType {
    MacOS("mac", "darwin"),
    Windows("win"),
    Linux("nux"),
    Other("generic");

    private static OSType detectedOS;

    private final String[] keys;

    private OSType(String... keys) {
        this.keys = keys;
    }

    private boolean match(String osKey) {
        for (int i = 0; i < keys.length; i++) {
            if (osKey.indexOf(keys[i]) != -1)
                return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

    public static OSType getOS_Type() {
        if (detectedOS == null)
            detectedOS = getOperatingSystemType(System.getProperty("os.name", Other.keys[0]).toLowerCase());
        return detectedOS;
    }

    private static OSType getOperatingSystemType(String osKey) {
        for (OSType osType : values()) {
            if (osType.match(osKey))
                return osType;
        }
        return Other;
    }
}

你可以使用:

System.getProperty("os.name")

附注:你可能会发现这段代码很有用:

class ShowProperties {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.getProperties().list(System.out);
    }
}

它所做的就是打印出Java实现提供的所有属性。它将使您了解通过属性可以了解Java环境的哪些信息。: -)

下面是一些简短、简洁(并且热切地计算过)的顶级答案:

switch(OSType.DETECTED){
...
}

helper enum:

public enum OSType {
    Windows, MacOS, Linux, Other;
    public static final  OSType DETECTED;
    static{
        String OS = System.getProperty("os.name", "generic").toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH);
        if ((OS.contains("mac")) || (OS.contains("darwin"))) {
            DETECTED = OSType.MacOS;
        } else if (OS.contains("win")) {
            DETECTED = OSType.Windows;
        } else if (OS.contains("nux")) {
            DETECTED = OSType.Linux;
        } else {
            DETECTED = OSType.Other;
        }
    }
}

此代码用于显示有关系统操作系统类型、名称、java信息等的所有信息。

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Properties pro = System.getProperties();
    for(Object obj : pro.keySet()){
        System.out.println(" System  "+(String)obj+"     :  "+System.getProperty((String)obj));
    }
}

String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");
System.out.println("Operating system " + osName);
