for tasks like this, Java is not the right language. you should use one who has more "connection" with the os and such.

What do you need to know about - all the hardware, or just the presence of a standard input device (keyboard) and/or a screen?

hello james,

i want to know all the hardware devices attached to particular PC.
Because i want to transfer that information to network administrator.

Thanks

I think you best option is to use ProcessBuilder to run an external command or app that writes all that info to a file or output stream, from where you can capture and forward it. The command or app will depend on what version of what operating system you are running.
I don't know of any standard Java API that will give you the information directly.
