I have a requirement to generate a report which has a column where we need to display whether the product is running on a physical box or a VM. If its running on a VM I need to display its version: something like ESXi 5.1. I am searching for a way to do this from my java code, but haven't been able to find anything yet. Can someone help out please.

    Well, cant you set it up using ENV variable and just access it from Java code? – Rafal G. May 10 '16 at 06:44
  • Virtual machines don't generally want to look like virtual machines to the processes running inside them, so you'll need to do something like R4J suggested. – Kayaman May 10 '16 at 06:47
  • I do not have access to the production environment. The product is deployed on the customer site, therefore I need the code to figure out whether its a virtual box or not. I had a similar requirement to get the application server name: tomcat/jboss etc. I could do that using the Servlet config, but for this I am not able to find any solution. One option is that I can add a parameter to the installer where the customer will have to specify whether its a VM or not. But when I suggested this it didn't go down well with the Product management. – Sid May 10 '16 at 06:50
  • Tell your Product Management that you'll be doing some native code hacking then. – Kayaman May 10 '16 at 06:58
