Class PlatformUtils

java.lang.Object
  oracle.javatools.util.PlatformUtils

public class PlatformUtils
extends java.lang.Object

PlatformUtils provides a common location from which a component can identify the current platform, without the need for each component to perform its own test of the os.name or os.version properties.

Even though it is not final, this class should not be subclassed.
