NT Registry Read

As far as I know through Java Directly u can not edit Registry or even play with it....
What exactly u want to do? Do u want to Install the Software and want to register tne No in registry? or just want to check it?

Rajiv

public class Bat  {
      public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

            Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
            r.exec("regedit");
      
      }
}

The reason why I want to read the NT registry is that we are have a problem where registry values are being over written in the course of the program and we need a tool to track the problem down. Thanks for your help.

Hi gaffneyr  && erlingd


class Reg {

      public static void main(String args[]){
            System.execute("Regedit.exe") ;      
      }
}


It first it won't compile.

There is no execute() method in
System class.

How Ur problem is solved ??

U have to use Runtime method's execute() only as in my commnet.

Thanks for your help. ravindra permits me to start REGEDIT but I still don't know any way to actually read the registry using only Java. Cay Horstmann's Core Java volume II has sample code to do this using JNI and C++.

Hmmm.
