If you are fine with a non-java solution that will work for Windows computers, there is a programming language called AutoHotkey (AHK) that is more suited for this kind of task. There exists a popular script called "Window Spy" (also known as "ActiveWindowInfo") that has the ability to view the title of the active window, as well as other information such as PID, the name of the .exe that the Window is an instance of, and etc. (I have attached a screenshot of what Window Spy told about the Google Chrome window I was using to write this reply. In the screenshot, I have also indicated which part of it tells you the Title of the Window).

This script comes with most AutoHotkey IDEs (such as SciTe4Autohotkey if you are interested). However, you can perfectly well run the script without an IDE.

Here are some quickstart instructions:

1. First, you will need to install AHK itself (here is the official website )
2. You can download the script itself by navigating to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fincs/SciTE4AutoHotkey/master/source/tools/ActiveWindowInfo.ahk in Chrome, using the shortcut Control+S to save the script to your computer. Make sure that when you download the script, it ends with a .ahk instead of the .txt that it will default to .
3. Navigate to the file that you downloaded and run it with AutoHotkey (It should be the default thing that happens if you double click the .ahk file with AutoHotkey installed).

If you need any more info on how to use the script, please let me know.
