Detect CPU Speed/Memory/Internet Speed using Java?

Question

Is it possible within Java to identify the total CPU speed available as well as the total system memory? Network connection speed to the web would also be awesome.

Answer 1

Memory stats are available from the Runtime object. And take a look a jconsole, a graphical client that presents information about a JMX-enabled Java Virtual Machine. It shows a lot of information including CPU usage, so you could write your own client that accesses the JMX information too.
