Windows running application list using Java

Question

How to get Windows running application list using Java?I got to get the processlist.

Answer 1

You can run some command line util from Java for collecting processes information. For example:

Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("qprocess");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));

Then you just read its output and parse it. qprocess is a standard Windows XP utility. In other versions of Windows you probably need some other utility.
