Programmatically Unmounting drive from Java

Question

Does anyone knows how to unmount a drive in java in OSx

I am trying to unmount a sdcard from java. I am using java Swing class and the drive gets mounted automatically, but how do I unmount it.

Answer 1

The concept of mounting/unmounting is not platform agnostic, so it doesn't exist directly within the Java APIs. You will most probably have to issue a command line call to unmount by using Runtime.exec()

There might be open source libraries available that wrap this exec call for you, but I'm not positive.
