SimpleRegistry is pure Java library that grants you read and write access to the Windows registry. This is done by calling the "reg" console commands through Java. This method is not the fastest but it gets the job done without any DLLs on the library path. Windows XP and older versions of Windows are not supported by this library. Tests show that it definitely works from Windows Vista to Windows 10.
try {
// Creating Keys
Registry.setKey(Registry.HKEY_CURRENT_USER + "\\Software\\MyExampleSoftware");
RegistryKey mySoftwareKey = Registry.getKey(Registry.HKEY_CURRENT_USER + "\\Software\\MyExampleSoftware");
mySoftwareKey.setValue("myExampleValue", RegistryValue.Type.REG_SZ, '\0', "Hello World!");
mySoftwareKey.reload();
System.out.println(mySoftwareKey.getValueByName("myExampleValue"));
// Reading keys
RegstryKey key = Registry.getKey(Registry.HKEY_CURRENT_USER + "\\Software");
for(RegistryKey child : key.getChilds()) {
System.out.println(child.getName());
}
// Removing Keys
Registry.deleteKey(mySoftwareKey.getPath());
} catch(IOException exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
}- Renamed the
KeyandValueclasses toRegistryKeyandRegistryValue - Removed the
Reloadableinterface - Made the project modular for Java 9
- Added Maven support
- Added Unit-Tests
- Added some more documentation
- Added the
getPath()method toRegistryValue - Fixed a bug that would give a wrong value through the
RegistryValue.getValue()method if the type isREG_MULTI_SZ
- Added more methods for direct access in the Registry.java
- Added the possibility to remove values (forgot that in the last release)
- Added the possibility to export and import keys
