title: Can you write Java code to check your local Internet Explorer's version
body: <p>Basically, I just need to write a simple java program to detect the version of my locally installed Internet Explorer.</p>
  
  <p>There's javascript code, but it runs within your browser. what I want is some code like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class VersionTest
  {
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {    System.out.println("you IE Version is:" + getIEVersion());
     }
  
     public static String getIEVersion()
     {   //implementation that goes out and find the version of my locally installed IE
     }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I do that? Thanks</p>
