Description

The java.lang.System.getProperties() method determines the current system properties. The current set of system properties for use by the getProperty(String) method is returned as a Properties object.

If there is no current set of system properties, a set of system properties is first created and initialized. This set of system properties includes values for the following keys −

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.lang.System.getProperties() method

Parameters

NA

Return Value

This method returns the system properties.

Exception

SecurityException − if a security manager exists and its checkPermission method doesn't allow access to the process environment.

Example

The following example shows the usage of java.lang.System.getProperties() method.

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Advanced configurationBesides the standard options available in the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, MPS enables you to perform low-level configuration of the underlying platform and the Java runtime.This may lead to unexpected problems and make your MPS installation inoperable if you are not sure what you are doing. Contact for instructions regarding the options and values that might help you with whatever issue you are trying to solve. JVM optionsMPS runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which has various options that control its performance. The default options used to run MPS are specified in the following file. /bin/mps64.vmoptions (for the default 64-bit JVM)/bin/mps.vmoptions (for the optional 32-bit JVM)Do not change JVM options in the default file, because it is replaced when MPS is updated.

Moreover, in case of macOS, editing this file violates the application signature. Configure JVM optionsDo one of the following to create a copy of the default file with JVM options in the that will override the values from the original file:.On the Help menu, click Edit Custom VM Options.If you do not have any project open, on the Welcome screen, click Configure and then Edit Custom VM Options.If you cannot start MPS, manually copy the default file with JVM options to the MPS.If you do not have write access to the MPS configuration directory, you can add the MPSVMOPTIONS environment variable to specify the location of the file with your preferred JVM options. The values in this file will override the corresponding values from both the original default file and the copy located in the MPS configuration directory.If you are using the Toolbox App, it manages the installation and configuration directory and lets you configure JVM options for every IDE instance. Open the Toolbox App, click the screw nut icon for the necessary instance, and select Settings. Common optionsThe default values of the JVM options should be optimal in most cases. The following are the most commonly modified ones.

OptionDescription-XmxLimits the maximum memory heap size that the JVM can allocate for running MPS. Default value depends on the platform. If you are experiencing slowdowns, you may want to increase this value, for example, to set the value to 2048 megabytes, change this option to -Xmx2048m.-XmsSpecifies the initial memory allocated by the JVM for running MPS. Default value depends on the platform. It is usually set to about half of the maximum allowed memory , for example, -Xms1024m.-XX:NewRatioSpecifies the ratio between the size of the young and old generation of the heap. In most cases, a ratio between 2 and 4 is recommended.

This will set the size of the young generation to be 1/2 to 1/4 of the old generation correspondingly, which is good when you are often working on one project and only a few files at a time. However, if you are constantly opening new files and switching between several projects, you may need to increase the young generation. In this case, try setting -XX:NewRatio=1, which will make the young generation as large as the old generation, allowing objects to remain in the young generation for longer.For more information about available JVM options, see the java reference for.

Platform propertiesMPS enables you to customize various platform-specific properties, such as the path to user-installed plugins and the maximum supported file size. The default properties used to run MPS are specified in the following file. /bin/idea.propertiesDo not change platform properties in the default file, because it is replaced when MPS is updated. Moreover, in case of macOS, editing this file violates the application signature. Configure platform properties:Do one of the following to create an empty idea.properties file in the that will override the values from the original file:.From the Help menu, select Edit Custom Properties.If you do not have any project open, on the Welcome screen, click Configure and then select Edit Custom Properties.If you cannot start MPS, manually create an empty idea.properties file in the MPS.If you do not have write access to the MPS configuration directory, you can add the MPSPROPERTIES environment variable to specify the location of the idea.properties file. The properties in this file will override the corresponding properties in both the original default file and the one located in the MPS configuration directory.

Common propertiesUsers often change the following properties:.The may need to be moved, for example, if the user profile drive runs out of space or it is located on a slow disk, if the home directory is encrypted (slowing down the IDE) or located on a network drive, if you want to create a portable installation or exclude caches from home directory backups, and so on. PropertyDescriptionidea.max.content.load.filesizeMaximum size of files (in kilobytes) that MPS is able to open.

Working with large files can affect editor performance and increase memory consumption. The default value is 20000.idea.max.intellisense.filesizeMaximum size of files (in kilobytes) for which MPS provides coding assistance. Coding assistance for large files can affect editor performance and increase memory consumption.

The default value is 2500.idea.cycle.bufferMaximum size of the console cyclic buffer (in kilobytes). If the console output size exceeds this value, the oldest lines are deleted. To disable the cyclic buffer, set idea.cycle.buffer.size=disabled.idea.max.vcs.loaded.size.kbMaximum size (in kilobytes) that MPS loads for showing past file contents when comparing changes. The default value is 20480.MPS provides a number of other properties that define interaction with the environment (window managers, launchers, file system, and so on). Most of them act like hidden settings (in the sense that they are not evidently exposed), which you may need to enable or disable in certain cases. Change these properties only if advised.

Default IDE directoriesBy default, MPS stores user-specific files (configuration, caches, plugins, logs, and so on) in the user's home directory. However, you can change the location for storing those files, if necessary. Configuration directoryThe MPS configuration directory contains XML files with personal settings, such as keymaps, color schemes, and so on. It is also the default location for user-defined and files. Syntax /./config Example /.MPS2019.3/configYou can change the location of the MPS configuration directory using the property.You can share your personal IDE settings by copying the files from the configuration directory to corresponding folders on another MPS installation.

Make sure that MPS is not running to avoid erasing the copied files when you shut down the IDE. The following table lists subfolders in the MPS configuration directory and corresponding settings that are contained in them.If your settings are synchronized using the Settings Repository plugin, these subfolders are located under settingsRepository in the configuration directory.If your settings are synchronized through the IDE Settings Sync plugin, these subfolders are located under jbaconfig in the configuration directory.
