Is there any possibility to get the "FriendlyDeviceName" of all screen devices, currently connected to my Windows PC (Win7), in Java?

I think about the actual monitor name as seen in the resolution dialogue. For example "SyncMaster".

There's already a solution done in C#:

Is it possible to do this in "normal" Java or do I need some JNI stuff?

You mean something like [`GraphicsDevice#getIDstring`](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/GraphicsDevice.html#getIDstring()) or the actual "monitor" hardware name? – MadProgrammer May 19 '15 at 13:55
I mean the actual hardware name, as seen in the windows resolution dialogue. That device descriptions are different from IDstring. – mstrd308 May 19 '15 at 14:10
You'll need to hit a JNA/JNI solution for that then – MadProgrammer May 19 '15 at 14:12
Any idea how to do that? – mstrd308 May 19 '15 at 14:59
