Gets an environment variable. An environment variable is a system dependent external variable that has a string value.
Deprecated. The preferred way to extract system-dependent information is the system properties of the java.lang.System.getProperty methods and the corresponding getTypeName methods of the Boolean, Integer, and Long primitive types. For example:
String classPath = System.getProperty("java.class.path",".");
