Kotlin实现我最近基于Edward的回答:

fun setEnv(newEnv: Map<String, String>) {
    val unmodifiableMapClass = Collections.unmodifiableMap<Any, Any>(mapOf()).javaClass
    with(unmodifiableMapClass.getDeclaredField("m")) {
        isAccessible = true
        @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
        get(System.getenv()) as MutableMap<String, String>
    }.apply {
        clear()
        putAll(newEnv)
    }
}

public static void set(Map<String, String> newenv) throws Exception {
    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);
        }
    }
}

或者根据joshwolfe的建议添加/更新一个单独的var并删除循环。

@SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked" })
  public static void updateEnv(String name, String val) throws ReflectiveOperationException {
    Map<String, String> env = System.getenv();
    Field field = env.getClass().getDeclaredField("m");
    field.setAccessible(true);
    ((Map<String, String>) field.get(env)).put(name, val);
  }

在网上闲逛，似乎可以用JNI来实现这一点。然后，您必须从C调用putenv()，并且(大概)必须以在Windows和UNIX上都能运行的方式来执行此操作。

如果所有这些都可以做到，那么对于Java本身来说，支持这一点，而不是让我穿上紧身夹克，肯定不会太难。

在其他地方讲perl的朋友认为，这是因为环境变量是进程全局的，而Java正在努力为良好的设计提供良好的隔离。

如果您像我一样在测试中遇到这个问题，并且正在使用Junit5，那么Junit-pioneer提供了非常有用的注释。maven版本

例子:

@Test
@SetEnvironmentVariable(key = "some variable",value = "new value")
void test() {
    assertThat(System.getenv("some variable")).
        isEqualTo("new value");
}

怎么推荐都不为过。

// 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);
}

这是@paul-blair的回答转换成Java的组合，其中包括paul blair指出的一些清理，以及@pushy的代码(由@Edward Campbell和anonymous组成)中似乎存在的一些错误。

我不能强调这段代码只应该在测试中使用，而且非常hack。但是对于在测试中需要环境设置的情况，这正是我所需要的。

这还包括我的一些小改动，允许代码在运行的两个Windows上工作

java version "1.8.0_92"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_92-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.92-b14, mixed mode)

和Centos一样
