Julien Vermillard commented on DIRMINA-21:
------------------------------------------

there is mostly 2 java API for serial/parallel. none of them are integrated in the JDK.

1st - Sun Comm API : http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/
It's Sun serial/parallel API for java, it's only for Solaris (x86 & Sparc) and Windows, it's a "Java Standard Extension".

2nd - RXTX : http://www.rxtx.org
It's a native lib providing serial and parallel communication for the Java Development Toolkit (JDK). All deliverables are under the gnu LGPL license. Works for Linux & Windows, support i2c and RS485 communication and provide compatibility with Sun Comm API.

In my opinion, for all the standard serial and paralell communication the best is to use the javax.comm.* API and for run it under linux to "plug" RXTX as native implementation. For more advanced serial communication (RS485, I2C) to use gnu.io.* directly.
