Re: how to access another application
Are you asking about changing the memory of an executing program from another program written in java? I don't think it can be done by java alone.
I'd think the OS would prevent it.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: how to access another application
so you would suggest me to write it in C++?
the program i wanted to access is (.exe), might help

Re: how to access another application
As Norm said, you can't do this with Java as the language isn't intended for this kind of low level memory management. More accurately, you can but shouldn't.
There are two workarounds. You can take a look at sun.misc.Unsafe. It's dangerous, undocumented and specific to sun JVM's but it's possibly to abuse it to gain direct access to memory. You will have to explore the JVM source for how this could be achieved. A better option would be to write the memory accessing function in C++ or C and write wrappers with JNI. Bare in mind that this kind of task is exceptionally complex and the operating system will fight against you.
Sounds like a Robot is what you want.an auto-move application for an online game
