Java Serial Communication on Windows

Question

I\'ve been looking around for a Java API that can communicate with serial devices on Windows/Win32 but many of the APIs I\'ve checked out are either for Linux, too outdated,

Answer 1

Without reservation, I recommend Java Serial Port from serialio.com; I had significant stability problems with the Sun, IBM and RxTx serial package. SerialPort has been rock solid in production 24/7 for over 5 years.

They support the standard Java serial API, as well as their own alternative proprietary one. I would stick with the standard API though, unless you really need something theirs has that the standard one doesn't, just to keep your options open.
