accessing VMware through java code

Question

Is there a way that a virtual machine (.vmx) file be opened in VMware workstation through a java code

Answer 1

If you want to edit the .vmx file, then the answer is no. There is currently no API available for VMware Workstation to let you programmatically change values in vmx file.

EDIT:

If VMPlayer can be invoked command line and an agrument vmx file can be passwd to it, then yes. Run the command via java using Process object.
