tryin' to enumerate all available Wifi network with J2SE

Hi,

I'd like to find out a way to enumerate all available wifi networks using Java 6.0 and any third-party API.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to find a solution to this problem, all I got is a library that I can't use because I don't have any example.

I'll be very pleased if someone could help me.

The target platform is Win XP/7.

Edit: the library I found is named jwlanscan

I am not sure that jwlanscan is intended as a library. I downloaded it and it seems that it contains a gui application that scans for wireless networks and displays information about them. There is also a utility class that scans for information and writes the information to the console. I guess you could use that and parse the information, but I don't think there is a public API intended for the purpose you are looking for.

Ok. I'm quite surprised, because I knew that some librairies exist for android. I'm still looking forward :)

If you open up the jar file and decompile the class files you can see how they do it. It is basically done using JNI. There are two Native methods `getNetworkAdapterInfo` and `getWirelessApInfo`. So you could just use the dll that is included and call the native methods. Not sure of the licence implications though.
