How can I get the amount of RAM on the system that my app if running from? I don't want to amount allocated to the Runtime. I want to total RAM of the system, such a 1GB of RAM. Does anyone know how I could get that from within my app? Thanks alot.
That is very O/S specific. There is a different way of doing in Unix vs. Windows and there are even differences between different Unix distributions. If you just have to do it in Java then you'll need to go native.
