Is there a platform independent possibility for Java programs to receive APM or ACPI events when the system goes into standby mode or hibernation - and again when it returns from these modes?
(So that one has the possibility to e.g. delete a half written file on a network drive, before the system goes down?)
This seems like it requires direct interaction with the operating system. Unless this capability is added to the java api, you can't do it in a platform-independent way. You could write native methods for this purpose, but you must rewrite them for different platforms.
