How to get installed Java (JRE) version details and post it to the log?

Tony,



Yes!! Exactly! How could I forgot about this when I mentioned a similar thing in another thread?

This is definitely the way to go but with small enhancement to improve Java process recognition if more than one Java process is running in the system:

a) (Optionally, though I would do this) Remove Index from Java process recognition parameters;

b) With the tested application running, in the NameMapping Editor, select mapped Java process, switch to the Required Children panel and check (select) your tested application as a required child.

Just threw this together real quick to provide an example so I'm sure it could be improved upon, but this should return the file version of any process. Enjoy.

wshell = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');

wshell.popup(getProcessVersion('chrome'));




 function getProcessVersion(processname){

 var myProc = (new VBArray(Sys.FindAll('Name','*' + processname + '*',1,true))).toArray()[0];

 if (aqObject.IsSupported(myProc,'FileVersionInfo')){

  return myProc.FileVersionInfo

  }

 }
