Passing String from Jenkins to Java code

Question

My framework consists of TestNG + Cucumber +Jenkins , I'm running the job using bat file configuration in jenkins.

My doubt is , I have a class file to launch the browser and I pass string value to if loop saying ,

if string equals "chrome" then launch the Chrome browser and soon. Is there a way to pass the chrome value from jenkins into class file ?

example :

public class launch(){

public static String browser ="chrome"

public void LaunchBrowser() throws Exception{

        if (browser.equalsIgnoreCase("chrome")) 
        {
launch chrome driver
}

} 

Now i would like to pass the static string value from jenkins ,

Help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You can do something like below

public class Launch {
    //You would be passing the Browser flavor using -Dbrowser
    //If you don't pass any browser name, then the below logic defaults to chrome
    private static String browser =System.getProperty("browser", "chrome");

    public void LaunchBrowser() throws Exception {
        if (browser.equalsIgnoreCase("chrome")) {
            //launch chrome driver
        }
    } 
}
