Is there a way to use SWT (Or in Java in general) to create a list of all
the processes that are runnning? This is a one of program so I only need
it to run under Windows XP.

Essentially I'd like a list similar to that found in the Task Manager.

Does anyone know a way to do this?

You'll have to delve in the murky depths of the Windows API and get your
hands dirty with some JNI.
Take a look at [org.eclipse.swt.internal.win32.OS.java] for using native
methods from Java and at [swt.c] for how to write a JNI wrapper. It's not
a hard as it may look (it helps if you know C of course)

If you're just on XP ( and maybe 2003 Server ) then a quick hack would
be to spawn C:\winxp\system32\tasklist.exe and parse the output.

Course this _is_ a hack and so maybe won't suit your needs...

Brush up your C++ and JNI skills and take a look at this:

Happy coding!
