You could never write environment variables in Java.  You can't even
read environment variables anymore.  System.getenv is not only
depricated, it is also no longer implemented (it just throws an
exception).

You will either need to write some platform specific code and call it
using JNI, or forget true environment variables and use the system
properties as recommended by Sun (the System.getProperty family).  I
don't think the system properties are replacement for the environment
variables unless the environment variables are added to the system
property table by the JVM (which they aren't), but that is Sun's
recommendation in the docs.
