> the {{Shell}} class looks for Windows and Linux and sets static fields to show this. For tests, it's sometimes useful to know if a host is OS/X, as its filesystem is different. Although this is easy to test in code [https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#technotes/tn2002/tn2110.html], having this in one place makes it easier to maintain if future java versions ever behave differently
