Crate java_manager 

A library for locating Java installations on the local system and executing Java programs.

This crate provides functionality to:

• Discover Java runtimes via PATH, JAVA_HOME, or deep system scans.
• Extract detailed metadata (version, vendor, architecture) from each installation.
• Execute Java applications with configurable arguments, memory settings, and I/O redirection.

Examples

use java_manager::{java_home, JavaRunner};

// Find all Java installations in PATH
let java = java_home().unwrap();
// Run a JAR file
JavaRunner::new()
    .java(java)
    .arg("--version")
    .execute()?;
