I\'ve been getting hostname of the machine as follows:

InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();

However, when I put latest JDK (jdk1.7.0_04),

    Well, I thought about flagging this as a dup, but the only answers I find suggest that you use InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName(). Which, frankly, I think should return "localhost" in this case. And those answers, I suppose, are correct, in that there's really no pure Java way of doing this (at least none that are portable back to older JREs.)

    We use JNI to accomplish this. We call SCPreferencesGetHostName() on Mac OS 10.4+, SCDynamicStoreCopyLocalHostName() on older Mac OS, GetComputerName() on Win32, gethostname() everywhere else.

    You could, of course, simply call /bin/hostname on Unix machines or look at the environment variable COMPUTERNAME on Windows. It's sort of a judgement call as to whether you feel better calling JNI or execing another program.

    For what it's worth, the reason we don't call gethostname() on Mac OS is because Mac does a weird dynamic hostname thing, where gethostname() will return the reverse DNS of your primary ethernet device. If I were to plug my Mac straight into my cable modem, I'd get a hostname of customer-10-42-21-42 or whatever my cable provider decided to set as my PTR record in their DNS. Instead, going to the preferences will get you a stable hostname that was determined by the user.

    I had the same problem and when all the following lined up it worked. host name had to be appended with DOT local

    $ scutil --get HostName
    drums
    $ scutil --get LocalHostName
    drums
    $ scutil --get ComputerName
    drums
    
    $ sudo hostname drums.local
    $ hostname
    drums.local
    
    $sudo vim /etc/hosts
    192.168.x.IP drums
    127.0.0.1 localhost drums
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1 localhost
    fXXX::1XXX localhost
    
    $networksetup -setv6off Ethernet
    
    $ sw_vers
    ProductName: Mac OS X
    ProductVersion: 10.9
    
    $ java -version
    java version "1.7.0_45"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)

    If you're not against using an external dependency from maven central, I wrote gethostname4j to solve this problem for myself. It just uses JNA to call libc's gethostname function (or gets the ComputerName on Windows) and returns it to you as a string.

    @edward-thomson's answer above makes me thing I might have a bit more work to do to make it work well on MacOS though :)

    This is a known issue in the macosx port of JDK7u4.
