Developer’s Description

By JamesYoung1
Build Java applications.

JWinAPI is a small subset of the Windows API that can be implemented natively by Java applications. It is very helpful to those of you that write Java applications that run on the Windows platform. As you know, Java has no real visibility into Windows because of the way it is architected - and rightly so. Therefore, my API can give you much needed functionality without having to know the Windows API - or even write a JNI DLL.

Tasks from Native Windows Registry Management, to sending keystrokes to other applications, to killing Windows processes - even setting your swing apps to be 'always on top' are now possible from Java applications. Version 1 includes unspecified updates.
