Reading available memory from OS

[shoenigman]

I am still working on my replica of the Windows Calculator using Java and need to be able to read the "physical memory available to Windows" from the local OS. This information is needed on the About Calculator screen (selected from the Help menu). I would greatly appreciate any help with locating this information. Once again, thanks in advance for your assistance...

It can't be done without using JNI or using a native program whose results are obtained using a Runtime.exec().

WinPack for JNIWrapper can help you with this task easily.

Check the API documentation: http://www.jniwrapper.com/docs/javadoc/winpack/com/jniwrapper/win32/system/MemoryStatus.html

Hope this helps,

You can find out some memory information:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html#totalMemory()
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html#maxMemory()

Not quite what you want...

Thank you both for your help. I think I am close to solving this, but you never know. It is a lot of work for such a little task. It is almost not worth it...
