Detect USB signal
Hi, I just want to ask how to detect signal from usb port so that I will know if a usb flash drive is plugged-in?
Also is there a way to run .jar application in a usb once it is plugged-in?

Hope someone can help me here.
Thanks in advance

Re: Detect USB signal
I looked into this a while back and recall not having much success (and I never had the necessity to pursue it further). I do recall finding 3rd party jar libraries that could have been used but this was a while back (if I recall correctly the ones I saw functioned through JNI and seemed platform dependent). A bit antiquated, but take a look at this article: Access USB devices from Java applications.
I'd be interested if you find a solution.
Re: Detect USB signal
Thanks, I realized that I have to learn this jUSB first, I am new to java and it might take time before I can implement this. Temporarily, I use autorun.inf.
Thanks again.
