how to create registry key through java program?

I want to create registry key through java program to add the jar file in the start up.

RegistryKey r=new RegistryKey(RootKey.HKEY_CURRENT_USER,"Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run");
        r.createSubkey("sample");

But i got the error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: ca.beq.util.win32.registry.RegistryKey.testInitialized()V
        at ca.beq.util.win32.registry.RegistryKey.testInitialized(Native Method)

How can i do that?

Solution

  • Add the JRegistryKey.jar in the library.
    Then copy and paste JRegistryKey.dll in my project.

    After that I run the same program ,The registry key is created successfully.

    RegistryKey r=new RegistryKey(RootKey.HKEY_CURRENT_USER,"Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run");
        RegistryValue v=new RegistryValue("name or the registrykey",ValueType.REG_SZ,"my jar file path");
        r.setValue(v);
