Re: System.getenv()

My problem is: I need to exec an external process, and I need to add an
environment variable before doing so.

The problem is that if I use Runtime.exec(String), my environment is
the old one without my variable, and If I put an array with my new
environment variable, I lost my old environment.

If you're working with just Unix platforms, you could use /usr/bin/env
as a helper to start the external application, like:

/usr/bin/env NEWVARIABLE=value /path/to/extcomm arg1 arg2
