I need to know, in a context of a unit test, if Jetbrains IntelliJ idea is the test initiator and if it is, which version is running (or at least if it's "9" or earlier).

I don't mind doing dirty tricks (reflection, filesystem, environment...) but I do need this to work "out-of-the-box" (without each developer having to setup something special).

I've tried some reflection but couldn't find a unique identifier I could latch onto.

Any idea?

Oh - the language is Java.
