windows - Find all drive letters in Java

Question

For a project I'm working on. I need to look for an executable on the filesystem. For UNIX derivatives, I assume the user has the file in the mighty $PATH variable, but there is no such thing on Windows.

I can safely assume the file is at most 2 levels deep into the filesystem, but I don't know on what drive it will be. I have to try all drives, but I can't figure out how to list all available drives (which have a letter assigned to it).

Any help?

EDIT: I know there is a %PATH% variable, but it is not as integrated as in UNIX systems. For instance, the application I'm looking for is OpenOffice. Such software would not be in %PATH%, typically.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/io/File.html#listRoots()

File[] roots = File.listRoots();
for(int i = 0; i < roots.length ; i++)
    System.out.println("Root["+i+"]:" + roots[i]);
