Get Mac Address in Java
There is no basic pure Java API to access hardware information, it may be the future, who knows
Address the needs of the Mac part from the UUID, and the majority are from the License Management, it is really a silly thing, and hope that the software is selling services, not copy, save the trouble
Has found some, generally there are three types of solution -
1, JDK6, JDK7?
For details, see the following link http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4691932
2, Shell Command
Interception is ipconfig, such as ifconfig command output, and then Analysis
There are some open-source projects, such as http://sourceforge.net/projects/javanetcomm/
There are many code snippet, such as http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=61556, http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=245711
A disadvantage of this approach is likely to require a higher authority system can be implemented such orders or visit LAN hardware
3, JNI
Also open-source projects include this feature, such as http://jug.safehaus.org/
Deficiency is inconvenient deployment
However, not all networks are Ethernet, the License Management, Mac addresses only the more generic concept of "Host Id," a considerations.
