Controling another program with java

hi. i have some problems about java. i'm trying to control a program with my java codes.i'm trying to explain that i will write a program and this program will send some keys to another choosen program. forexample i will say my program that i want you to send "A" key to a game for 500 times and at the game my program will write AAAAAAA....... .i look for some examples in c++. c++ uses findwindow and postevent methods for this work but i couldn't find anything.
so i want some help about this
what can i do or where can i find some help
sorry about my little english.
thanks...

look up the Robot object in Java 1.31 (I think) or later.

Executing another program with Java?

I'm relatively new to Java. I'd like to build a process-monitoring program that will allow me to determine the status of certain processes on the machine. In order to do this I need to know if Java can execute (and then of course read the output of) another program, in this case, the Unix 'ps' command.
Thanks.
David

yeah: look at the java.lang.Runtime and java.lang.Process APIs, specifically Runtime.exec . There are a ton of discussions about those APIs in this forum, so you can probably find some code examples as well, if you do a search... Take care.

how can i control outlook express from my java program
for example i want to view in a textarea the text email that is being delivered

the reason i wanted to do that is that i created an encryption program, and i want to use this program to encrypt emails.If you have any other ideas of how this can be achieved please share them with me.

About: control USB device with Java

Any body know how to control USB device with Java?
Does JDK provide a package for USB?
Is there any web site concerning USB programming?
Thank you! ^_^

Look at www.prosyst.com. There is an usb bundle (linux
and windows pltforms).I looked on this site and cannot find the bundle you are talking about. Do you know more specifically where to find out about controlling USB devices with Java?

Can i create an exetutable (.exe) program with java???????

I would like to learn how i can create an exetutable (.exe) program with java.
Is there any additional package which i should download or buy it?
Also i would like to write files into CD's direct from my application.
Is there any library which i must download or buy?
Thanks!

check out the free open source GNU gcj native compiler for Java to see if it will do what you want.
http://gcc.gnu.org/java/
for writing data files you could use java.io.BufferedWriter. For sound files, look in the javax.sound package

Never programmed with Java

Hello
I have never programmed with Java, and dont know, what i can do, I use PHP, but, i am only a novice at it.
I was wondering, is it possable to get data from a page, and put it into an image? if there is no data from the page, it will ask for the data to be added, and this will update every so often?
Also, Most of you know about google maps, where you can search for something, well, can i do this same thing in java, have a map, not of the earth, but for a game, and make it easy to add different parts, so that we can search for it, and people can find it easy to look for what they are looking for?

I think Google Maps is programmed in JavaScript using AJAX (short for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) and is what as known as a web application. Google has released an API (still in beta) for working with Google Maps. The webpage for this API is http://www.google.com/apis/maps/. More about the development facilities Google provides can be found at http://code.google.com/.
I've never read the source code to Google Maps before (a lot of which is available by just viewing the source code of the Google Maps webpage, which can be done by clicking, View > Source in Internet Explorer and View > Page Source in Mozilla Firefox), however I don't think it is a terribly complex application (this does not mean, however, that the source code is easy to read). I think the way it works is by requesting individual images as needed from the Google server and piecing them together on the client side (i.e. in the browser). Basically what you would need to do to use their existing code is to replace all requests made to the Google server with requests to a server of your own and have the server return the corresponding images. This might not be particularly easy to do.
In my opinion, a better approach is just to write your own custom application (probably in Java) which simply mimics the behavior of Google maps, except with your own custom images. This way, you don't have to reverse engineer an entire web application before beginning to write one.
Writing your own application for this purpose is not as difficult as it sounds, especially not in Java. Once understanding the basics, you will not be too far off from being able to write your application.
Let's start with the most basic program (this program would be located in a file called Program.java):
public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
}This program simply starts, does nothing, and exits. I will explain this piece of code line by line, but first, I would like to gauge how much you already know to figure out how best to explain this. Have you used classes in PHP before?

OSX 10.4.10, Net beans and Sams Programing with JAVA

I am brand new to Java so I downloaded Net Beans on my MAC. I bought a copy of Teach Your Self Programing with Java in 24 hrs.
So far I got the first three programs to compile on Net Beans but got stuck when they started to talk about arguments. The following will not compile. Starting at line 2
1) System.out.println("The " + arguments [0]
2) + " " + arguments[1] + " fox "
3) + "jumped over the "
4) + arguments[2] + " dog. ")
I get the little red x on each line.
Is the book wrong or am I missing something?
All the tutorials talk about Javac. I can't seem to find it or get to it on my computer. How do I know if I even have it?
And is there such a thing as a "command line" on a MAC?

Hi, you should put any code you post in between code brackets like this:
code here I dont use a mac or netbeans but javac is the java compiler, you would not have been able to compile the first two. The .exe (or whatever mac executable is) is usually located in the lib folder in the java directory. It comes when you download JDK. As for the code, it would help me if you posted the first couple lines of the error message. It looks fine to me, but I would need to see your whole class in order to help you further
and yes there is a command line on a mac...i think its called terminal and usually looks like a little computer

How to control tcp connection with java tcp socket programing ??

Hi,
I am connecting a server as using java socket programming.
When server close the connection (socket object) as using close() method ,
I can not detect this and My program continue sending data as if there is a connection with server.
How to catch the closing connection ( socket ) with java socket programming.
My Client program is as following :
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.Socket;
public class client
public client()
   * @param args
public static void main(String[] args)
    Socket socket=null;
    PrintWriter pw=null;
    try
                      socket = new Socket("localhost",5555);
                      pw = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
                      int i=0;
                      while (true)
                        i++;
                        pw.println(i+". message is being send.");
                        Thread.sleep(5000);
    } catch (Exception ex)
                      ex.printStackTrace();
    } finally
                      try
                        if(pw!=null)pw.close();
                        if(socket!=null)socket.close();

                        ex.printStackTrace();
                      } finally
}

I changed the code as following. But I couldn't catch the EOFException when I read from the socket. How can I catch this exception ?

                      inRead = new InputStreamReader(in);
                      bufIn = new BufferedReader(inRead);

Windows Programming with Java??? Is it possible???

I have a small request from a client (Windows User) who wants a really simple POP3 email checker. I basically need to achieve the same thing that many email clients do, where they show some sort of symbol in the System tray when there is new email. I, however want to do this without the actual email client. All I want is the checker. This program will not download the email, gather information or anything. It will simply check the POP3 account and let the user know if there is new email.
1.Can I get an icon to appear in the system tray and have a program that runs in the background, simply checking the POP3 account for new mail???
2.If it is possible to interact with windows, then how is it done??? If this is too large of a question and you know of some resources that can answer this question for me, that will do.
3.Is it even possible to have Java programs run in the background without appearing in the task bar??
4. Am I trying to do something with Java that it just plain cannot do???

Another really god option is to use the coroutine package from http://www.nevaobject.com/java/index.htm. This allows you invoke COM and Windows API's without having to write the JNI yourself. Its about $695 for a site-wide development license and has no binary distribution costs. A nice, cheap solution to spending lots of hours doing it youself. From the few things I tinkered with, it really does a great job too, but I have not deployed in a real production environment.

Also, another thing people may want to try. A coworker was having a problem where she kept getting the unsupported major minor version error from eclipse after upgrading to the latest version of java.
All the configuration settings were correct, pointing to the latest vm. I tried starting eclipse with the parameter
-vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\jre\bin\javaw.exe"
and it worked just fine. Without this, it was apparently finding some conflict between jdk1.5 and the older jdk1.4.
IDE's are nice, but I find configuring them after an upgrade to be exremely painful.

How to run and control any program by java

hi everyone ,
I wonder that how to execute and control some menus or how to use some property of any program by java, not for the whole program, it's just only a few features of program.
Is there any idea?
if it's impossible to do with java , how can I do it? which way?
thanks a lot..

No. Applications have to be specifically built to be able to be controlled by other programs; for example office applications allow you to communicate with them through a special protocol. To be able to communicate you need to know the protocol and write specific code for specific tasks.
The software world is not as simple as they show in movies, where hackers just press two buttons and take control over entire buildings and applications.

Controlling eletronic devices with JAVA ( LEDS, MOTORS...)

All this week I try to find some help about how to control eletronic devices like leds using the parallel or serial port using JAVA. Using C it's very simple, but with JAVA, I guess that NOBODY do this kind of application... If I'm wrong, please, tell me.... ( I know that I need to use javax.comm or JNI, but I want to see a real application that works ...

First thing to note is that using javax.comm you cannot set pin outputs
levels directly (you can set some pin levels directly such as CTS and
RTS on a serial port). There are ways around this such as writing the correct byte value to the parallel port (depends on port type though)
Therefore the device you wish to communicate with should be able
to talk to parallel or serial ports. If this is the case you just send
messages to the device and it lights up you leds.
A, perhaps better, solution would be to write, or obtain from the
internet, some native lib that allows bit bashing on the port of your
choice. Then write a wrapper class for it an call its methods (JNI).
This is only worth while if you have some reason to use java rather
then another language, such as C or C++, to talk to you device. This
whole thing would probably be easier in one of those languages.

Writing Programs with java in 10.3.9

So, I'm trying to teach myself the basics of Java. Here's what I did:
I went to the apple website and poked around until I found what I THOUGHT was the right download. (JavaForMacOSX10.3Update5.pkg). This SEEMS to have created a Java folder (Applications/Utilities/Java) However I can't confirm that it wasn't there before I downloaded and ran the JavaForMacOSX10.3Update5.pkg. Inside this folder are four applications (Applet Launcher, Input Method HotKey and two other PlugIns).
After reading a bunch of stuff about Java it seemed like I needed to be working with the Terminal Application in order to do command line stuff. I wrote a little program in TextEditor, saved it as "HelloApp.java" (like the book told me to) and then went to Terminal to try to compile it.
When I open Terminal, here's what I see:
Last login: Tue Jun 10 19:29:19 on ttyp1
Welcome to Darwin!
[Peter-Booths-Computer:~] peterboo%
I typed in <javac HelloApp.java> and here's what I got back:
error: cannot read: HelloApp.java
1 error
[Peter-Booths-Computer:~] peterboo%
Sooo... my questions:
How do I tell the computer through command line entries exactly WHERE my HelloApp.java file is? On a PC, they do something like cd C:/ to change directories to the location where the file is saved. Is there an equivalent command on a Mac?
I'm not even sure that I've got the Java JDK or JSE or whatever the heck it's called on my computer. Can someone tell me how to figure that out?
Is there a slicker way to compile, run etc. code with Java beside command line stuff in Terminal?
Thanks a TON to anyone who can help me.
Peter Booth
Message was edited by: Peter Booth1

Specify the path in the Terminal; a path will look like ~/Desktop/HelloApp.java if the item is on your desktop; when starting a path, ~ refers to your home folder, while / refers to the top level of the drive. Using 'cd' followed by a path will take you to that location from your current folder unless the path starts with a ~ or /, which work as above.
A path which starts with ../ refers to the folder enclosing the one you're currently looking at.

Is it possible to create java standalone programs with java ME 8

Hi,
Comparing java ME to java SE, I have the impression that midlets are similar to applets.
When working with java SE, I usually make standalone programs.
Now, I wonder if it is also possible to create also standalone programs for java ME, if the classes are only using java ME API's.
I already noticed that netbeans does not allow to build a project that does not contain a midlet, but maybe, it is possible to create a jar file
using the javac and jar commands. Or is there a specific reason why netbeans does not allow to build a project without midlets?
The reason for asking is, that I often make small tools in java that ae then called from a linux script. I imagine that this might be useful on the raspberry pi as well.
Thanks in advance
Jef

Hi Jef -
Comparing java ME to java SE, I have the impression that midlets are similar to applets.
Sort of - similar life cycle methods - so conceptually, yes.
Now, I wonder if it is also possible to create also standalone programs for java ME, if the classes are only using java ME API's.
In a way, yes. If you build an project, you will notice a JAD file and JAR file in the dist directory of the project. JAD is the descriptor for a MIDlet - in mobile devices, the JAD
file is loaded first to determine if the MIDlet has enough privileges to load and run, before the corresponding JAR file is downloaded.
However, the JAD file can also be included in the Manifest of the JAR and the JAR copied to the embedded device manually and run there.
I already noticed that netbeans does not allow to build a project that does not contain a midlet, but maybe, it is possible to create a jar file
using the javac and jar commands. Or is there a specific reason why netbeans does not allow to build a project without midlets?
You can build JAR files and include them into Java ME Embedded projects, but just like Applets, to use the Application Management System (AMS) on the Raspberry Pi, you must have a MIDlet to run.
Perhaps you mean that you would like to launch the AMS and load a MIDlet from the command line on the Pi?
If so, take a look at this section of the Getting Started Guide for the Raspberry Pi.
