NullPointerException at getenv

800474Jul 31 2006 — edited Jul 31 2006

Hi, I'm getting the following NPE when calling System.getenv:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.lang.ProcessEnvironment$Variable.valueOfQueryOnly(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.ProcessEnvironment$Variable.valueOfQueryOnly(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.ProcessEnvironment$StringEnvironment.get(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.ProcessEnvironment$StringEnvironment.get(Unknown Source)
        at java.util.Collections$UnmodifiableMap.get(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.ProcessEnvironment.getenv(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.System.getenv(Unknown Source)

It's strange because all goes well when running it from Eclipse, but it fails when calling java from the command line.

The exception above is raised within a Java Swing application.

Thank you for any help!
God bless
Jaime
