Java: Programatic Way to Determine Current Windows User

I see many similar questions, however I want to find the Username of the currently logged in user using Java.

Its probably something like:

System.getProperty(current.user);

But, I'm not quite sure.

  • You're actually really close. This is what you're looking for:

    System.getProperty("user.name")
    
  • The commonly available system properties are documented in the System.getProperties() method.

    As Chris said "user.name" is the property to get the user running your app.
