system programming with java
hi,
i was trying to fetch system related data, like processor usage, through java .. but i couldn't .. i couldn't find any API for the purpose..
finally used some shellscripting...
is there any API for these purpose?
If there are no such APIs then how java.io works?
how it interact with hardware? how it read input from IO devices?

Java technology includes an abstraction layer called the Java Virtual Machine. This JVM isolates all system dependencies. Once a JVM exists for a platform, pure Java programs (in bytecode form) will run on that platform.
