I am trying to build an application for database administrators using java. I am unable to figure out a way to list all installed data sources in the local machine as well as on a network computer. I want the end user to be able to double click the data source and view the database schema. Any ideas? I would really appreciate the help.

Welcome to JavaRanch, Josh.

How would you search for these installed datasources?

They're configured in the Windows registry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\OBDC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources for system DSNs, likewise but in HKCU for user DSNs. The value names are the DSN names.
As for network PCs, you'll need to access the remote registry for that.
