I have an IDE that I program my self, which has an action to run a docker-compose.yml file using docker-compose up

The action should only available when the developer has the docker desktop installed. How can I check the availability of docker desktop with java?

if(dockerDesktopAvailable()){
   // my action is here
}

WHile you can surely do that Programmatically, but there are sure inbuilt status tools in every cloud platform which you can sync on your Fav IDEs. – Vishwa Ratna Dec 23 '19 at 05:23
@VishwaRatna I want to check if the docker runs locally. – Gihan Saranga Siriwardhana Dec 23 '19 at 05:32
`List containers = dockerClient.listContainersCmd() .withShowSize(true) .withShowAll(true) .withStatusFilter("exited").exec()` – Vishwa Ratna Dec 23 '19 at 05:36
No such class as DockerClient. Can you please specify the package name ? – Gihan Saranga Siriwardhana Dec 23 '19 at 06:27
Yes, ` com.github.docker-java docker-java 3.0.14 ` – Vishwa Ratna Dec 23 '19 at 06:30
