Hi to all,
could you tell me how can I manage my serial port with Java ? I found some
examples about the javax.comm package but I can't find where I can get it
for free. Is this package still supported in recent Java releases ?
Thanx in advance,
John
The Java Comm API is no longer supported by Sun for Windows. I have no
good answer as to why. It does however still work just fine with
Windows XP and up to 1.6. I have not tried it on Vista but from what I
hear, nothing works with Vista. It was still available on Sun's website
until this spring but is gone now. If you would like a copy, email me
and I will send you one. The Sun API is available for Linux and Solaris.
I tried to convert my existing software to use RXTX but under Windows,
RXTX has some serious bugs and was not usable.
