This chapter will discuss how to use the SysInfo™ Java Application Programming Interface (API). This API provides full access to all SysInfo™ data classes and requires no user-supplied parsing of SysInfo™ data. Each SysInfo™ data class is provided as a discrete Java object. The API functions by executing SysInfo™ and parsing the XML output which is then returned to the caller as Java objects.
The API is fully cross platform compatible on all platforms supported by SysInfo™ including Linux, Mac, Unix, and Windows. A Java application developed with the SysInfo™ Java API can be built once and installed on any SysInfo™ supported platform without the need to recompile on each platform.
The full API is documented in the SysInfo Java Reference Manual.
The SysInfo™ Java API requires the following:
mcsysinfo-version-platform
or the "Runtime environment without any user interface" distribution named
mcsysinfo-noui-version-platform
Both are available for download from
