I'd like to get window information (size, position) from (non-java) applications other than my own. Is there a way of doing this in java?

As far as I know, that information needs to come from your operating system. The question then becomes:does your operating system supply that information and if so how?
I would advise to discontinue that project if you want to use Java and is a beginner in Java.Quote:

I was afraid that would be the case :) I didn't really want to sacrifice platform independence, but so be it...
Then the question is, what about JNA?
