java - System.property 是什么意思？

Question

请问这个源码中的System.property有什么用？我找不到确切的答案。

public abstract class BaseIndexingTestCase extends TestCase {
protected String[] keywords = {"1", "2"};
protected String[] unindexed = {"Netherlands", "Italy"};
protected String[] unstored = {"Amsterdam has lots of bridges",
"Venice has lots of canals"};
protected String[] text = {"Amsterdam", "Venice"};
protected Directory dir;
protected void setUp() throws IOException {
String indexDir =
System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir", "tmp") +
System.getProperty("file.separator") + "index-dir";
dir = FSDirectory.getDirectory(indexDir, true);
addDocuments(dir);
}
protected void addDocuments(Directory dir)
throws IOException {
IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(dir, getAnalyzer(),
true);
writer.setUseCompoundFile(isCompound());
for (int i = 0; i < keywords.length; i++) {
Document doc = new Document();
doc.add(Field.Keyword("id", keywords[i]));
doc.add(Field.UnIndexed("country", unindexed[i]));
doc.add(Field.UnStored("contents", unstored[i]));
doc.add(Field.Text("city", text[i]));
writer.addDocument(doc);
}
writer.optimize();
writer.close();
}
protected Analyzer getAnalyzer() {
return new SimpleAnalyzer();
}
protected boolean isCompound() {
return true;
}
}

这句话让我很困惑。

System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir", "tmp") +
System.getProperty("file.separator") + "index-dir";

Answer 1

System.getProperty(..)调用是为了获取操作系统的 temp 目录:

• java.io.tmpdir 是临时目录
• file.separator 是操作系统特定的文件分隔符 - / 或 \
