What do you mean by "System Variable"?  If you are talking about defining
a variable externally and then accessing it from your Java code, you can
use a System Property.  With many Java launchers, you can define a system
property on the command line using an option line -Dproperty=value, and
you can retrieve the value in the Java code using System.getProperty().

With Java 1.5, you can also get the value of an environment variable with
System.getenv(), although support for this is system dependent.
