BlueCove JSR-82 project
------------------
BlueCove
BlueCove is a Java library for Bluetooth (JSR-82 implementation) that currently interfaces with the Mac OS X, WIDCOMM, BlueSoleil and Microsoft Bluetooth stack found in Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista
and WIDCOMM and Microsoft Bluetooth stack on Windows Mobile.
{{{./bluecove-emu}BlueCove JSR-82 Emulator module}} is additional module for BlueCove to simulate Bluetooth stack.
{{{./bluecove-bluez}BlueCove-BlueZ}} is additional module to support BlueCove runtime on Linux BlueZ using D-Bus interfaces.
{{{./bluecove-gpl}BlueCove-GPL}} is additional GPL licensed module to support BlueCove runtime on Linux BlueZ.
BlueCove can be used in Java Standard Edition (J2SE) 1.1 or newer.
BlueCove has been tested on following JVM:
* {{{http://harmony.apache.org/}Apache Harmony - Open Source Java SE}} 5.0M5 on Win XP 32 bit
* SUN Java 1.1.8 on Windows XP/X86

BlueCove provides JSR-82 Java interface for following Bluetooth Profiles:
* SDAP - Service Discovery Application Profile
* RFCOMM - Serial Cable Emulation Protocol
* L2CAP - Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol
* OBEX - Generic Object Exchange Profile (GOEP) profile on top of RFCOMM and TCP

* BlueCove Documentation
{{{http://code.google.com/p/bluecove/wiki/Documentation}BlueCove Installation and configuration instructions}}
API-Documentation for BlueCove {{{bluecove/apidocs/index.html}Java docs}}. For application it is not recommended to use any classes or API other than defined in JSR-82.
For API limitations on different stacks see {{{http://code.google.com/p/bluecove/wiki/stacks}BlueCove supported stacks}}.

* BlueCove Tests
You can help us to make BlueCove better or understand how we are testing it look {{{bluecove-examples/bluecove-tester}here}}.
* MIDlet application {{{http://www.mgmaps.com/}Mobile GMaps}} created by Cristian Streng will connect to GPS receiver over bluetooth. <<<{{{bluecove-examples/bluecove-webstart/open/wap.mgmaps.com/mgmaps.jnlp}\u00bbStart now}}>>>.
BlueCove provides an implementation of the JSR 82. Applications should use {{{bluecove/apidocs/index.html}API defined in JSR-82}}.
You may find many examples on the {{{http://www.google.com/search?q=JSR+82+tutorial}internet}} describing the usage of JSR 82.
We created short (50 lines of code each) examples for you to get started with JSR-82 application development:

* {{{bluecove/apidocs/overview-summary.html#OBEXPutServer}OBEX Put Server}}

Mainly there are some missing APIs in native stacks to implement full TCK compatibility.
