Try the following class to get you started.  Notice that it used "sh" to
execute a subshell.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class EnvTest {

  public static void main( String [] args ) {
    try {
      BufferedReader inp;

      String nextLine = null;

      String osShell="sh -c set";
      Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(osShell);
      System.out.println( "Executed subshell, displaying environment
settings..." );
      System.out.println( "" );

      inp = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc.getInputStream(),
"Cp037"));

      while( null != (nextLine = inp.readLine()) ) {
        if( nextLine.length() > 0 ) {
          for (int i = 0; i < nextLine.length(); i++)
          {
            int z = nextLine.charAt(i);
            System.out.print(Integer.toHexString(z));
          }
          System.out.println("");
          System.out.println( nextLine );
          System.out.println("");
        }
      }
    }
    catch( Exception e ) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
