May I suggest that you check out if JNA would be a viable alternative? I did some some libusb-0.1 stuff using JNA and it was a pleasure, it took me about two hours to implement a full pure Java API for libusb, no C code or compiler in sight! By pure I mean that I, nor anyone using my code need ever to compile any C code .... it just works! And that is the beauty, just include a jar in your project and you are done. Makes life so much easier for the end users, no need hack a dysfunctional automake system when it does not compile in your OS. The only issue I see is that for some high bandwidth applications JNA might be a bottleneck. I can share my code if you are interested. Of course, given that I've got a cross platform pure Java usb API the whole javax-libusb is a bit superfluous, at least for me, but I appreciate that a standard conforming API could be useful. Just a thought. br Kusti ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
