Is it possible to get the current account information (on computer) things like their username and profile picture using Java? any help would be appreciated

Solution

  • See http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/sysprop.html for a a list of system properties available to the JVM on every OS.

    You can then access a property using String prop = System.getProperty("user.name").

    There's no universal access to any profile picture that I know of. There might be OS-specific libraries for that.
