When you say 'X-Server' do you mean the X11 graphics device on Linux/Unix systems ?

If so, Java will talk to any graphics native device if it needs to (using java.awt classes) - but this is generally below the scope of an application programmer . Because Java is meant for platform-independance, there is no standard library for talking to native graphics devices, and if you speciffically need to do so, then maybe Java is the wrong language to be doing it in, and you may be better off with another, more platform specific language ...

There may be one on the web though somewhere ...

Thnx for your reply,

yes I mean the X11 on linux,I also know that java uses it, but it does not allow all te functions. e.g. you can not ask the list of all window id's that are displayed on the screen. You can not modify any windows that are not yours either. Wich you can in a c++ program. Guess jni will be my solution.
