This is a fork of the RXTX library with a focus on ease of use and the ability to embed in other libraries. We have also ported this code to the Android platform.

Some of the features we have added:

A simplified serial port object called NRSerialPort, see the Wiki for an example...

Self deployment of native libraries ( all native code is stored inside the jar and deployed at runtime). No more manual install of native code.

Arm Cortex support (Gumstix)

Android Support (requires a rooted phone to access the serial hardware)

Google Code (SVN) repository for easy code and jar access

Single makefile compile (simplifies the compilation of project binaries)

Ant build script for jar creation

Removal of partially implemented code to streamline the lib for just serial port access

Full Eclipse integration, for testing application code against sources.

And a bunch of bug fixes:

Fixed the memory access error that causes OSX to crash the JVM when serial.close() is called

Fixed the windows serial port zombie bind that prevents re-accessing serial ports when exiting on an exception

Fixed erroneous printouts of native library mis-match
