Hello Everyone,

I wanna know the system configuration (Hard Disk size,Ram capacity,Processor speed) .Can we know it using Java API? Or else is there any API which makes my life easier?

if we can know the system configuration using the languages like c or c++ ,
can we call that code using java?I am new to java.
Can someone let me know,please?

All ur answers r most welcome.

Thanks

you got a free Windows program, no remember the name, but it works great into Java, exactlly what you want..
comming soon, when i'l find it

Hello,

Actually,what I need is before installing our application on client's machine
System configuration(Hard Disk capacity,Ram capacity, Processor speed..etc) needs to be checked using java API.For this I have searched on the web.However,I could not get it.
Now my query is "Can we know the system configuration using native code(c or c++ code)so that we can call that code from java ?"

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

if you look in the java.lang.Runtime class, there are methods for finding out the memory available to the jvm, but it doesnt show the _whole_ RAM capacity.


the below code is taken from a program called xchat, its written in c and gets the processor speed for linux, freebsd, apple and windows.
xchat is released under gpl
