B4J Question Set operating system environment variable

[Patent]

Hi guys,
is it possible to set a operating system environment variable with B4J i.e. on a Win System?

greets

I´m not sure if you can change the SYSTEMS Environment.
But i´m positive you can set the Environment to child-processes using the java ProcessBuilder.

Something like

Sub Process_Globals
    Private fx As JFX
    Private MainForm As Form
    Private jPB As jProcessbuilder
End Sub

Sub AppStart (Form1 As Form, Args() As String)
    MainForm = Form1
    'MainForm.RootPane.LoadLayout("Layout1") 'Load the layout file.
    MainForm.Show
 
    Dim cmds As List
    cmds.Initialize
    cmds.Add("D:\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe")
    cmds.Add("D:\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml")
 
    jPB.Initialize("PB")
    jPB.setEnvironmentVar("EnvVar","Value")
    jPB.start(cmds,"E:\")
End Sub

Another option, is this thread.

Did check the B4J v5.50 BETA #2 and SetEnvironmentVariables (Set the system environment variables that will be passed to the child process), is included in jShell v1.40.

thank you guys.my approach was to Start the app via a script and do the setting bevor the start of the VM.
it works but its not very ellegant so i will try processbuilder and/or jshell with 5.5b4j.
funny: erel is on time with my coding-problems !!!!!
thank you DonManfred, Rob, Erel
