尝试了上面pushy的答案，它在很大程度上起了作用。然而，在某些情况下，我会看到这个例外:

java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.ProcessEnvironment$Variable

由于ProcessEnvironment的某些内部类的实现，当该方法被多次调用时就会发生这种情况。如果setEnv(..)方法被多次调用，当从theEnvironment映射中检索键时，它们现在是字符串(在第一次调用setEnv(…)时已作为字符串放入)，并且不能转换为映射的泛型类型Variable，这是ProcessEnvironment的私有内部类。

下面是一个固定版本(在Scala中)。希望将其应用到Java中并不太难。

def setEnv(newenv: java.util.Map[String, String]): Unit = {
  try {
    val processEnvironmentClass = JavaClass.forName("java.lang.ProcessEnvironment")
    val theEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theEnvironment")
    theEnvironmentField.setAccessible(true)

    val variableClass = JavaClass.forName("java.lang.ProcessEnvironment$Variable")
    val convertToVariable = variableClass.getMethod("valueOf", classOf[java.lang.String])
    convertToVariable.setAccessible(true)

    val valueClass = JavaClass.forName("java.lang.ProcessEnvironment$Value")
    val convertToValue = valueClass.getMethod("valueOf", classOf[java.lang.String])
    convertToValue.setAccessible(true)

    val sampleVariable = convertToVariable.invoke(null, "")
    val sampleValue = convertToValue.invoke(null, "")
    val env = theEnvironmentField.get(null).asInstanceOf[java.util.Map[sampleVariable.type, sampleValue.type]]
    newenv.foreach { case (k, v) => {
        val variable = convertToVariable.invoke(null, k).asInstanceOf[sampleVariable.type]
        val value = convertToValue.invoke(null, v).asInstanceOf[sampleValue.type]
        env.put(variable, value)
      }
    }

    val theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theCaseInsensitiveEnvironment")
    theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.setAccessible(true)
    val cienv = theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.get(null).asInstanceOf[java.util.Map[String, String]]
    cienv.putAll(newenv);
  }
  catch {
    case e : NoSuchFieldException => {
      try {
        val classes = classOf[java.util.Collections].getDeclaredClasses
        val env = System.getenv()
        classes foreach (cl => {
          if("java.util.Collections$UnmodifiableMap" == cl.getName) {
            val field = cl.getDeclaredField("m")
            field.setAccessible(true)
            val map = field.get(env).asInstanceOf[java.util.Map[String, String]]
            // map.clear() // Not sure why this was in the code. It means we need to set all required environment variables.
            map.putAll(newenv)
          }
        })
      } catch {
        case e2: Exception => e2.printStackTrace()
      }
    }
    case e1: Exception => e1.printStackTrace()
  }
}

事实证明，@pushy/@anonymous/@Edward Campbell的解决方案在Android上不起作用，因为Android并不是真正的Java。具体来说，Android根本没有java.lang.ProcessEnvironment。但事实证明在Android中更容易，你只需要对POSIX setenv()进行JNI调用:

打印C / JNI:

JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_com_example_posixtest_Posix_setenv
  (JNIEnv* env, jclass clazz, jstring key, jstring value, jboolean overwrite)
{
    char* k = (char *) (*env)->GetStringUTFChars(env, key, NULL);
    char* v = (char *) (*env)->GetStringUTFChars(env, value, NULL);
    int err = setenv(k, v, overwrite);
    (*env)->ReleaseStringUTFChars(env, key, k);
    (*env)->ReleaseStringUTFChars(env, value, v);
    return err;
}

在Java中:

public class Posix {

    public static native int setenv(String key, String value, boolean overwrite);

    private void runTest() {
        Posix.setenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH", "foo", true);
    }
}

在需要为单元测试设置特定环境值的场景中使用，您可能会发现以下hack很有用。它将在JVM中更改环境变量(因此请确保在测试后重置所有更改)，但不会更改系统环境。

我发现Edward Campbell和anonymous的两个肮脏的黑客组合效果最好，因为一个在linux下不起作用，另一个在windows 7下也不起作用。所以为了获得一个多平台的邪恶黑客，我将它们结合起来:

protected static void setEnv(Map<String, String> newenv) throws Exception {
  try {
    Class<?> processEnvironmentClass = Class.forName("java.lang.ProcessEnvironment");
    Field theEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theEnvironment");
    theEnvironmentField.setAccessible(true);
    Map<String, String> env = (Map<String, String>) theEnvironmentField.get(null);
    env.putAll(newenv);
    Field theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theCaseInsensitiveEnvironment");
    theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.setAccessible(true);
    Map<String, String> cienv = (Map<String, String>) theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.get(null);
    cienv.putAll(newenv);
  } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
    Class[] classes = Collections.class.getDeclaredClasses();
    Map<String, String> env = System.getenv();
    for(Class cl : classes) {
      if("java.util.Collections$UnmodifiableMap".equals(cl.getName())) {
        Field field = cl.getDeclaredField("m");
        field.setAccessible(true);
        Object obj = field.get(env);
        Map<String, String> map = (Map<String, String>) obj;
        map.clear();
        map.putAll(newenv);
      }
    }
  }
}

这招很管用。完全归功于这些黑客的两位作者。

基于@pushy回答的Jython变体，适用于windows。

def set_env(newenv):
    from java.lang import Class
    process_environment = Class.forName("java.lang.ProcessEnvironment")
    environment_field =  process_environment.getDeclaredField("theEnvironment")
    environment_field.setAccessible(True)
    env = environment_field.get(None)
    env.putAll(newenv)
    invariant_environment_field = process_environment.getDeclaredField("theCaseInsensitiveEnvironment");
    invariant_environment_field.setAccessible(True)
    invevn = invariant_environment_field.get(None)
    invevn.putAll(newenv)

用法:

old_environ = dict(os.environ)
old_environ['EPM_ORACLE_HOME'] = r"E:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1"
set_env(old_environ)

我偶然发现了这个线程，因为我有一个类似的需求，我需要设置(或更新)一个环境变量(永久地)。

所以我研究了如何从命令提示符永久设置一个环境变量，这是非常简单的!

setx JAVA_LOC C:/Java/JDK

然后我在代码中实现了同样的功能 这是我使用的(假设- JAVA_LOC是env。变量名)

        String cmdCommand = "setx JAVA_LOC " + "C:/Java/JDK";
            ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder();
            processBuilder.command("cmd.exe", "/c", cmdCommand);
            processBuilder.start();

ProcessBuilder启动cmd.exe并传递您想要的命令。 即使您关闭JVM/重新启动系统，环境变量也会保留，因为它与JVM/程序的生命周期没有关系。

// this is a dirty hack - but should be ok for a unittest.
private void setNewEnvironmentHack(Map<String, String> newenv) throws Exception
{
  Class<?> processEnvironmentClass = Class.forName("java.lang.ProcessEnvironment");
  Field theEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theEnvironment");
  theEnvironmentField.setAccessible(true);
  Map<String, String> env = (Map<String, String>) theEnvironmentField.get(null);
  env.clear();
  env.putAll(newenv);
  Field theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theCaseInsensitiveEnvironment");
  theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.setAccessible(true);
  Map<String, String> cienv = (Map<String, String>) theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.get(null);
  cienv.clear();
  cienv.putAll(newenv);
}
