Class SysPropertiesUtil

java.lang.Object
  net.sourceforge.groboutils.junit.v1.SysPropertiesUtil

public class SysPropertiesUtil

extends java.lang.Object

Utility that allows for easy setting and reseting of System properties. Some classes that need testing may depend upon a System property setting, and this class will help testing that. This is JDK 1.1 and above compatible.

Each instance of this utility should be created in the setUp() method of the test case, then the utility should have its reset() method called in the tearDown() method. This ensures that the standard system properties have been set correctly.
