Hi List, I tried to search the archives but could not realy get an answer.
For long time I've been searching (or rather waiting) for a viable cross platform USB API for Java. So far I've been using 'libusb' through 'jna' and it has realy been easy for modest needs. However, the future of that (too) project seems in doubt, the new project 'owner' making doubtfull choises. So that is where javax-usb comes in. Seeing that is an official JSR it should have a better future, I hope. And about time too that we had a common USB API on Java! Review ballot in 2000 and now it is 2008 and no other 'official' implementation than the Linux-RI. I like Linux and run three different distros on this Mac, but the reality is that the 90% of my users are on Windows, 8% are on Mac and 2% are on Linux .... So is anyone working on Mac OS X port/implementation? I noticed that in addition to what is on the project website someone had done some work on the Windows implementation using 'libusb'. If there is no work already done on Mac and if I can find the time I might make hava a go at it. Which road should one take, start from the Linux-RI, or from the existing Windows-libusb code, or from the Ricoh BSD code, after all, Mac OS X is BSD at some level? Or is there a licensing issue with the Ricoh code? br Kusti ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
