Get my IP Address using Java

The below Java code, myIP.java, list my IP address.

import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.NetworkInterface;
import java.net.SocketException;
import java.util.Enumeration;

class myIP {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(getIpAddress());
    }
    
    private static String getIpAddress(){
        String ip = "";
        try {
            Enumeration<NetworkInterface> enumNetworkInterfaces = 
                NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces();
            while(enumNetworkInterfaces.hasMoreElements()){
                NetworkInterface networkInterface = 
                    enumNetworkInterfaces.nextElement();
                Enumeration<InetAddress> enumInetAddress = 
                    networkInterface.getInetAddresses();
                while(enumInetAddress.hasMoreElements()){
                    InetAddress inetAddress = enumInetAddress.nextElement();
                    
                    String ipAddress = "";
                    if(inetAddress.isLoopbackAddress()){
                        ipAddress = "LoopbackAddress: ";
                    }else if(inetAddress.isSiteLocalAddress()){
                        ipAddress = "SiteLocalAddress: ";
                    }else if(inetAddress.isLinkLocalAddress()){
                        ipAddress = "LinkLocalAddress: ";
                    }else if(inetAddress.isMulticastAddress()){
                        ipAddress = "MulticastAddress: ";
                    }
                    
                    ip += ipAddress + inetAddress.getHostAddress() + "\n"; 
                }
            }    
        } catch (SocketException e) {
            ip += "Something Wrong! " + e.toString() + "\n";
        }
        
        return ip;
    }
}

Check System Properties of Raspberry Pi, using Java

Once installed Java 8 release candidate on Raspberry Pi, we can create a java program, listProperties.java, to list System Properties, to verify the installation.

listProperties.java

import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.Set;

class listProperties {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        Properties properties = System.getProperties();
        System.out.println(properties.toString());
        System.out.println("\n");
        
        Set<String> setPropertyNames = 
            properties.stringPropertyNames();
        for (String propName : setPropertyNames) {
            System.out.println(
                propName + " : " +
                System.getProperty(propName));
        }
    }
}

To compile listProperties.java
$ javac listProperties.java

Run generated listProperties.class
$ java listProperties

The result will be something like:

---

Java 8 release candidate is available (with steps to install on Raspberry Pi)

As announced in the post "Update on JDK 8 builds and release candidate status", the first release candidate build of JDK 8, b128 is available on https://jdk8.java.net/download.html. Including supported platform of Linux ARMv6/7 VFP, HardFP ABI, it can be run on Raspberry Pi. Here show the steps to install on Raspberry Pi.

In the steps shown here, visit https://jdk8.java.net/download.html on host PC, click to Accept License Agreement to get the actually download link of Linux ARMv6/7 VFP, HardFP ABI, it's http://www.java.net/download/jdk8/archive/b128/binaries/jdk-8-fcs-b128-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-31_jan_2014.tar.gz currently for Build b128.

https://jdk8.java.net/download.html

Run on LXTerminal in Raspberry Pi:

• Enter the command to downlaod the tar.gz with wget:
  $ wget --no-check-certificate http://www.java.net/download/jdk8/archive/b128/binaries/jdk-8-fcs-b128-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-31_jan_2014.tar.gz
• Un-compress the downloaded tar.gz:
  $ sudo tar zxvf jdk-8-fcs-b128-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-31_jan_2014.tar.gz -C /opt
  The un-compressed jdk8 will be install in /opt/jdk1.8.0
• To set the new JDK8 as default java and javac, enter the command:
  $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /opt/jdk1.8.0/bin/javac 1
  $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jdk1.8.0/bin/java 1
  
  Run the following commands to select jdk8 as default java:
  $ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
  $ sudo update-alternatives --config java
• Now you can run the commands to verify default jdk version:
  $ java -version
  $ javac -version

After installed, you can create a test program to list System Properties to verify the installation.
