Copy format:

Desktop

Example properties from Toolkit.getDesktopProperty(String). All properties in toolkit are available to sandboxed apps.

The display_mode property is also defined in the Desktop list. display_mode - Summary of the default DisplayMode. This is included because it tells us the screen size (rate, bitdepth), which is handy to know when dealing with full-screen rendering.

System

Example properties from System.getProperty(String). All the properties prefixed with sun. and user. are restricted, whereas only some of the other properties are restricted.

The default_locale property is also defined in the System list. The default_locale provides information from Locale.getDefault().toString(). This is available to sandboxed apps. though the equivalent information from user.language & user.country is restricted.

Environment

The map returned by System.getenv() usually contains information more specific to the local machine and OS, and less so to Java applications, but can also reveal some interesting information if you know what to look for.

The list is the collection of environment variable names for an AMD/Win XP based machine running Java 6.

Trusted

The applet comes in two forms, one that is sand-boxed (not trusted), the other that requests all-permissions (trusted).

Environment properties always require trust. Desktop properties never require trust. Some System properties require trust, while others do not.
