How do I get the name of the current machine in Java? I thought it would be
a system property but I can't find it.

Thanks,

There may be an easier way, but this worked for me:

InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
System.out.println("hostname = " + addr.getHostName());

In 1.5 you can get env variables.
For windows xp you can look up COMPUTERNAME.
