Windows API

[JS]

Hi all, is there an API similar to the java API, not too bothered about the
layout or format, for interacting with the operating system preferably
Windows.
If anyone knows of any such document(s) can they post a link or email it to
me.
Thanks in advance

In java?

the "no longer developed or supported" should be an indication as to the
pointlessness of such a thing. The java API pretty much covers
the useful parts of the API. Any of the other articles I could find on
the subject were very old (1998 or before).

Also, the fact that you didn't do a web search for "win32 java wrapper"
before posting to the newsgroup tells me that you probably don't really
need what you're asking for. =) Maybe you should be more specific about
what you want - I bet a win32 wrapper isn't the answer to your problem.

If you want to do native windows programming, Java isn't your best choice.
If you're worried about learning a new language being too much, use J#.
The Win32 API is implemented in all .NET languages, as well as Delphi, C++,
and pretty much anything that doesn't require its own platform (like Java).

you do that through JNI. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jni.html
