Using Java to interact with the Windows OS

Question

Which method is the best way to query and return data from Windows OS using java? I have used the exec() method to query calls to the command line, but that can be a pain when writing complex OS call queries.

Would PowerShell be the recommended way to query data from the Windows OS using Java? If so how can I go about it in Java?

Examples of Windows OS call queries would be from returning host details, memory(RAM) details , to closing and opening logical ports (security reasons) , and much more that can't be done via internal Java.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Consider Apache Commons Exec

It is a robust and reliable library to execute external processes from Java-code.

Here is the javadoc for this library
