How to get Linux version, using /etc listing?

I want to get Linux version using this code:

public void getSystemVersion()
    {
        File f = new File("/etc/");
        File[] allReleaseFiles = f.listFiles(new FilenameFilter()
        {
            @Override
            public boolean accept(File dir, String name)
            {
                System.out.println("System Verison : " + name.endsWith("-release"));
                return name.endsWith("-release");
            }
        });
    }

But this is the output that I get:

.......
System Verison : false
System Verison : false
System Verison : false
System Verison : false
System Verison : false
System Verison : false
System Verison : false
........

Can you help me to find the problem? Also how I can do this using Java 8 code?

Try to parse /proc/version. It's the same as calling uname -r. At least you don't have to mess with processes.
