title: How do I access Windows Event Viewer log data from Java
body: <p>Is there any way to access the Windows Event Log from a java class. Has anyone written any APIs for this, and would there be any way to access the data from a remote machine?</p>
  
  <p>The scenario is:</p>
  
  <p>I run a process on a remote machine, from a controlling Java process.
  This remote process logs stuff to the Event Log, which I want to be able to see in the controlling process.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
