Hi i wrote a java program for scanning a system for java.exe 's

Question

hi ,
i wrote a program which scans the system for java.exe 's and then it captures them in a linked list and then i
iterate through it for "\\Java\\jdk1.5.0_08\\bin\\java.exe and my aim is to return true in case the linked list contains the string "\\Java\\jdk1.5.0_08\\bin\\java.exe" and stop scanning the system.
If the linked list does not contain "Java\\jdk1.5.0_08\\bin\\java.exe" it should return false.
But my problem is the program is continuing to scan the system even if the linked list has "\\Java\\jdk1.5.0_08\\bin\\java.exe"
Any sort of help is appreciated.
The code is as follows:
package com.installanywhere.exper;
import com.zerog.ia.api.pub.CustomCodeRule;
import com.installanywhere.exper.SearchTool;
* @author
public class eFileTool extends CustomCodeRule {
     /* (non-Javadoc)
     * @see com.zerog.ia.api.pub.CustomCodeRule#evaluateRule()
     @Override
     public boolean evaluateRule() {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          SearchTool searchtool=new SearchTool();
          boolean valueTocheckfor=false;
          valueTocheckfor=searchtool.find();
          String someothervalue=Boolean.toString(valueTocheckfor);
          if(someothervalue.equalsIgnoreCase("true")){
               return true;
               //System.exit()
          else if(someothervalue.equalsIgnoreCase("false")){
               try {
                    Thread.sleep(5000);
               } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
          System.out.println(valueTocheckfor+"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
          return valueTocheckfor;
