In Java to indicate if code is running from IntelliJ/Eclipse etc or command line

Question

I would like to know if there is an option to write programmatic if code is running via Eclipse/IntelliJ or any other editor or running from command line

I was thinking to use System.getProperty() but is there any property that indicate it?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The following code can detect whether your code is ran from IntelliJ IDEA or not.

public static boolean runningFromIntelliJ()
{
    String classPath = System.getProperty("java.class.path");
    return classPath.contains("idea_rt.jar");
}

It's tested working on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows so it should be platform independent.
