How to read a registry key from Windows registry ?
 

Hi,

I need to read a registry in Windows and I wonder if anyone has faced
this before.

Right now the most simple way as I see it is to write a method in C and
invoke it via. JNI. Have you faced this before ? Do you know if is there any
available library to do this ?

Thanks in advance,

- Leny

That or e.g. use an appropriate JNDI service provider:

An easy way is to launch the REG.EXE utility and capture the output :

This is a rather new problem for me as well so i don't know if this
works in your specific situation. but java.util.prefs.*
Look at the api-spec and look at this link:

The nice thing with this is that your app remains portable.
hope it helps
