Check if screensaver is active

How to determine if a screensaver is running in Java?

is there any way you can find out if the screensaver is active with java? I've searched the web but the only things I found was very complicated native code... My program is made for windows only.

I would recommend switching to C# asap if you are targetting Windows only — bobobobo, Aug 26 '11 at 23:24
@bobobobo, I take it you've never worked on a project that already has tens or hundreds of thousands of lines of code. — Mike Daniels, Aug 26 '11 at 23:36
Judging by the nature of the question it sounds as if he is in the beginning stages — bobobobo, Aug 27 '11 at 01:26

Java cannot handle system tasks directly. You should use JNI (Java Native Interface) or JNA (Java Native Access) to do it.

I haven't tried this code, but they claim to answer your question with JNA as Ammar suggested: Screen Saver State.
