 Shouldn't we consider the download of the rxtx.jar as an active choice
 already ? (just wondering)

 But, with how I proposed earlier (which I now think is wrong) rxtx.jar
 would be downloaded by running "mvn -Pdistribute install". Don't think
 that would be clear to users.

 So, instead I think it's best not to include the serial stuff among
 our binaries. Those wanting to use it should instead having to make an
 informed choice by building it themselves.

 So to be clear :
 - the bin won't contain anything related to serial (no rxtx jar, no serial
 code)
 - the src package will contain the code of the serial project

 I'm fine with that if nobody object.


FWIW there was some feature in Maven that conditionally downloads an
artifact after having the user approve the license. Perhaps we can take the
same steps for the rxtx.jar artifact?
