JConfig Class Library Vote for JConfig in the Best Class Library category! Make the features you need part of "standard" Java! What is it? JConfig is a cross-platform library which supplements the core Java API. It lets you work with files, web browsers, processes, file types, and other system-level items in a much more advanced manner than that provided by the standard Java class libraries. JConfig is similar to some of the Microsoft extensions to Java, except: it's completely cross-platform! JConfig runs on Windows, Mac, Unix, and other platforms to come. Find out how JConfig compares with the built-in Java class libraries! Click here. What can I do with it? Here's a partial list, by category: Files: Enumerate the user's disk drives, and obtain extended information on files, directories, volumes, and filesystems: their icons, creation dates, version information, mount points, and much more... Web Browsers: Launch a file or URL in the user's Web browser... Video Monitors: Enumerate and get information on the user's video monitors: bit depth, bounds, etc... External Processes: Create external processes, send basic commands to external processes, obtain the PSN or HWND of a process you created, and enumerate the currently running processes...

How do I download it? Click here to download JConfig Why JConfig is Important to You Do you really think java.io.File is a cross-platform way to specify a file? Should something as deeply flawed as java.io.File (or Runtime.exec(), etc. etc.) really be made part of an International Standard? We don't think so. For months, we've been going through "official channels", trying to make an expanded and enhanced version of JConfig part of the official Java standard. Unfortunately, all our attempts to obtain information on how to accomplish this have so far been unsuccessful. So, if we can't make JConfig a de jure standard, we want to make it a de facto standard. If you want to see Java fulfill its cross-platform promise and help you to create high-quality software, please support us in this effort. Contact the companies involved, and let them know that you support JConfig. For background information on submitting proposed extensions to Java, see 'The Java Gated Community Process' by Elliotte Rusty Harold Thank You.
