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;
        }
    }
}

上面答案中的一些链接似乎被打破了。我在下面的代码中添加了指向当前源代码的指针，并提供了一种方法来处理以enum作为答案的检查，以便在计算结果时使用switch语句:

OsCheck.OSType ostype=OsCheck.getOperatingSystemType();
switch (ostype) {
    case Windows: break;
    case MacOS: break;
    case Linux: break;
    case Other: break;
}

helper类是:

 */
import java.util.Locale;
public static final class OsCheck {
  /**
   * types of Operating Systems
   */
  public enum OSType {
    Windows, MacOS, Linux, Other
  };

  // cached result of OS detection
  protected static OSType detectedOS;

  /**
   * detect the operating system from the os.name System property and cache
   * the result
   * 
   * @returns - the operating system detected
   */
  public static OSType getOperatingSystemType() {
    if (detectedOS == null) {
      String OS = System.getProperty("os.name", "generic").toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH);
      if ((OS.indexOf("mac") >= 0) || (OS.indexOf("darwin") >= 0)) {
        detectedOS = OSType.MacOS;
      } else if (OS.indexOf("win") >= 0) {
        detectedOS = OSType.Windows;
      } else if (OS.indexOf("nux") >= 0) {
        detectedOS = OSType.Linux;
      } else {
        detectedOS = OSType.Other;
      }
    }
    return detectedOS;
  }
}

如果你对一个开源项目是如何做这些事情感兴趣，你可以看看Terracotta类(Os.java)在这里处理这些垃圾:

http://svn.terracotta.org/svn/tc/dso/trunk/code/base/common/src/com/tc/util/runtime/ http://svn.terracotta.org/svn/tc/dso/tags/2.6.4/code/base/common/src/com/tc/util/runtime/

你可以在这里看到类似的类来处理JVM版本(Vm.java和VmVersion.java):

http://svn.terracotta.org/svn/tc/dso/trunk/common/src/main/java/com/tc/util/runtime/

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));
    }
}

我认为下面的内容可以用更少的字里行间覆盖更广的范围

import org.apache.commons.exec.OS;

if (OS.isFamilyWindows()){
                //load some property
            }
else if (OS.isFamilyUnix()){
                //load some other property
            }

更多详情请访问:https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-exec/apidocs/org/apache/commons/exec/OS.html

获取操作系统名称，只需使用:

Platform.getOS()

假设你想看看平台是否是linux:

if (Platform.getOS().equals(Platform.OS_LINUX)) {
}

类似地，Platform类为其他操作系统名称定义了常量。平台类是org.eclipse.core.runtime包的一部分。
