(是不是因为这是Java，所以我不应该做邪恶的、不可移植的、过时的事情，比如触摸我的环境?)

我认为你说到点子上了。

减轻负担的一个可能的方法是找出一种方法

void setUpEnvironment(ProcessBuilder builder) {
    Map<String, String> env = builder.environment();
    // blah blah
}

并在启动任何processbuilder之前通过它。

另外，您可能已经知道这一点，但是您可以使用同一个ProcessBuilder启动多个流程。因此，如果子流程是相同的，就不需要一遍又一遍地进行这个设置。

像大多数找到这个线程的人一样，我正在编写一些单元测试，需要修改环境变量以设置测试运行的正确条件。然而，我发现被点赞最多的答案有一些问题和/或非常神秘或过于复杂。希望这能帮助其他人更快地找到解决方案。

首先，我终于发现@Hubert Grzeskowiak的解决方案是最简单的，对我来说很管用。我希望我能先讲到这一点。它基于@Edward Campbell的回答，但是没有复杂的for循环搜索。

然而，我从@pushy的解决方案开始，它得到了最多的赞。它是@anonymous和@Edward Campbell's的组合。@pushy声称这两种方法都需要覆盖Linux和Windows环境。我在OS X下运行，发现两者都可以工作(一旦@匿名方法的问题被修复)。正如其他人所指出的，这种解决方案在大多数情况下都有效，但并非所有情况都有效。

I think the source of most of the confusion comes from @anonymous's solution operating on the 'theEnvironment' field. Looking at the definition of the ProcessEnvironment structure, 'theEnvironment' is not a Map< String, String > but rather it is a Map< Variable, Value >. Clearing the map works fine, but the putAll operation rebuilds the map a Map< String, String >, which potentially causes problems when subsequent operations operate on the data structure using the normal API that expects Map< Variable, Value >. Also, accessing/removing individual elements is a problem. The solution is to access 'theEnvironment' indirectly through 'theUnmodifiableEnvironment'. But since this is a type UnmodifiableMap the access must be done through the private variable 'm' of the UnmodifiableMap type. See getModifiableEnvironmentMap2 in code below.

在我的例子中，我需要为我的测试删除一些环境变量(其他的应该保持不变)。然后，我想在测试之后将环境变量恢复到它们之前的状态。下面的例程会让你更容易做到。我在OS X上测试了两个版本的getModifiableEnvironmentMap，两者的工作效果相当。尽管基于本线程中的注释，但根据环境的不同，其中一种可能比另一种更好。

注意:我没有包括对' casaseinsensitiveenvironmentfield '的访问，因为这似乎是Windows特定的，我没有办法测试它，但添加它应该是直截了当地。

private Map<String, String> getModifiableEnvironmentMap() {
    try {
        Map<String,String> unmodifiableEnv = System.getenv();
        Class<?> cl = unmodifiableEnv.getClass();
        Field field = cl.getDeclaredField("m");
        field.setAccessible(true);
        Map<String,String> modifiableEnv = (Map<String,String>) field.get(unmodifiableEnv);
        return modifiableEnv;
    } catch(Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Unable to access writable environment variable map.");
    }
}

private Map<String, String> getModifiableEnvironmentMap2() {
    try {
        Class<?> processEnvironmentClass = Class.forName("java.lang.ProcessEnvironment");
        Field theUnmodifiableEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theUnmodifiableEnvironment");
        theUnmodifiableEnvironmentField.setAccessible(true);
        Map<String,String> theUnmodifiableEnvironment = (Map<String,String>)theUnmodifiableEnvironmentField.get(null);

        Class<?> theUnmodifiableEnvironmentClass = theUnmodifiableEnvironment.getClass();
        Field theModifiableEnvField = theUnmodifiableEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("m");
        theModifiableEnvField.setAccessible(true);
        Map<String,String> modifiableEnv = (Map<String,String>) theModifiableEnvField.get(theUnmodifiableEnvironment);
        return modifiableEnv;
    } catch(Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Unable to access writable environment variable map.");
    }
}

private Map<String, String> clearEnvironmentVars(String[] keys) {

    Map<String,String> modifiableEnv = getModifiableEnvironmentMap();

    HashMap<String, String> savedVals = new HashMap<String, String>();

    for(String k : keys) {
        String val = modifiableEnv.remove(k);
        if (val != null) { savedVals.put(k, val); }
    }
    return savedVals;
}

private void setEnvironmentVars(Map<String, String> varMap) {
    getModifiableEnvironmentMap().putAll(varMap);   
}

@Test
public void myTest() {
    String[] keys = { "key1", "key2", "key3" };
    Map<String, String> savedVars = clearEnvironmentVars(keys);

    // do test

    setEnvironmentVars(savedVars);
}

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)
    }
}

在Android上，界面是通过Libcore公开的。os作为一种隐藏的API。

Libcore.os.setenv("VAR", "value", bOverwrite);
Libcore.os.getenv("VAR"));

Libcore类和接口操作系统都是公开的。只有类声明缺失，需要显示给链接器。不需要将类添加到应用程序中，但是如果包含了类也无妨。

package libcore.io;

public final class Libcore {
    private Libcore() { }

    public static Os os;
}

package libcore.io;

public interface Os {
    public String getenv(String name);
    public void setenv(String name, String value, boolean overwrite) throws ErrnoException;
}

Kotlin中的一个版本，在这个算法中，我创建了一个装饰器，允许您从环境中设置和获取变量。

import java.util.Collections
import kotlin.reflect.KProperty
​
class EnvironmentDelegate {
    operator fun getValue(thisRef: Any?, property: KProperty<*>): String {
        return System.getenv(property.name) ?: "-"
    }
​
    operator fun setValue(thisRef: Any?, property: KProperty<*>, value: String) {
        val key = property.name
​
        val classes: Array<Class<*>> = Collections::class.java.declaredClasses
        val env = System.getenv()
​
        val cl = classes.first { "java.util.Collections\$UnmodifiableMap" == it.name }
​
        val field = cl.getDeclaredField("m")
        field.isAccessible = true
        val obj = field[env]
        val map = obj as MutableMap<String, String>
        map.putAll(mapOf(key to value))
    }
}
​
class KnownProperties {
    var JAVA_HOME: String by EnvironmentDelegate()
    var sample: String by EnvironmentDelegate()
}
​
fun main() {
    val knowProps = KnownProperties()
    knowProps.sample = "2"
​
    println("Java Home: ${knowProps.JAVA_HOME}")
    println("Sample: ${knowProps.sample}")
}

这是@pushy的邪恶答案的Kotlin邪恶版本=)

@Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
@Throws(Exception::class)
fun setEnv(newenv: Map<String, String>) {
    try {
        val processEnvironmentClass = Class.forName("java.lang.ProcessEnvironment")
        val theEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theEnvironment")
        theEnvironmentField.isAccessible = true
        val env = theEnvironmentField.get(null) as MutableMap<String, String>
        env.putAll(newenv)
        val theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField = processEnvironmentClass.getDeclaredField("theCaseInsensitiveEnvironment")
        theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.isAccessible = true
        val cienv = theCaseInsensitiveEnvironmentField.get(null) as MutableMap<String, String>
        cienv.putAll(newenv)
    } catch (e: NoSuchFieldException) {
        val classes = Collections::class.java.getDeclaredClasses()
        val env = System.getenv()
        for (cl in classes) {
            if ("java.util.Collections\$UnmodifiableMap" == cl.getName()) {
                val field = cl.getDeclaredField("m")
                field.setAccessible(true)
                val obj = field.get(env)
                val map = obj as MutableMap<String, String>
                map.clear()
                map.putAll(newenv)
            }
        }
    }

它至少在macOS Mojave上运行。
