Windows running application list using Java

windows

Solution

I would recommend also using the qprocess utility, then, if you need more info about a process, use wmic.

Example :

String line;
try {
        Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("wmic.exe");
        BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc.getInputStream()));
        OutputStreamWriter oStream = new OutputStreamWriter(proc.getOutputStream());
        oStream .write("process where name='explorer.exe'");
        oStream .flush();
        oStream .close();
        while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
            System.out.println(line);
        }
        input.close();
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
        ioe.printStackTrace();
    }

See http://ss64.com/nt/wmic.html or http://support.microsoft.com/servicedesks/webcasts/wc072402/listofsampleusage.asp for some example of what you can get from wmic...
