Gathering system information

Thread view:

weiss.matt@gmail.com - 10 Nov 2005 20:41 GMT

Hey All,

I'm trying to find a java API that will report to me system information
such as OS/Version memory available, memory used, etc, etc. Does
anyone know of such a package or perhaps a 3rd party jar that I could
use?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

Well you can get the OS and version and other information by using
System.getProperties().

If you use J2SE 1.5/5.0 you can ask for some of the JMX objects for
that purpose:
