Get path to java JRE

It it possible to get the location of the jre that is used for the current process. Need to launch an other java application as a separate process. Having different jre's available (and no path variable set) I would like ask eg. the loader for this. Running on Solaris, Linux, Windows.

System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.home"));

The code above will return the full physical path to current jvm's jre path. Tested only in Windows 10.

You can use:

System.getProperty("java.home")

http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getProperties%28%29 says:

java.home: Java installation directory
