thanks...I'm using T1 and the target is a client's computer so I only
want to install the minimum to do communication and, for bonus points,
re-Mote software upgrades. The difficulty with the "build and package"
option is that, without finding an appropriate Mac and installing a
full dev system, I have nothing on which to build and package...
On the subject of the new-improved-T2-comm-library...is it interface
compatible with the old-useful-Sun version?

Not being a Macintoshiteer I have no idea what this entails:
I have a project that will want to use a Mac to talk to a TmoteSky using
my Java code. I don't know what version of what yet, I suspect late OSX,
but I don't know if it's gonna be Intel or PowerPC.
I assume that I need and can get a modern JRE (from Sun?), but I also
need the javax.comm and FTDI stuff. I've googled some refs to various
sources for both of the above but none of them seem to agree. And all
seem to believe that I will be doing the development on the Mac so they
concentrate on installing compilers and building tools...
Surely there is an existing comm package that I can just install?
It would also be nice if I could download new code to the Tmote with
a standalone msp430-bsl. Does that exist in binary someplace?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
thx

Are you using TinyOS 1.x or TinyOS 2.x? TinyOS 2.x now ships with its
own serial library, so you don't need to install Sun's CommAPI library
if that's the version you're using. You should be able to just follow
steps 1-4 and 8-9 of Kevin Klues's tutorial
(http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Installing_tinyos-2.x_on_Mac_OS_X_(Tiger))
to get everything installed, including a Java environment and the TinyOS
SDK.
TinyOS 1.x should be largely the same, except that you'll need to
install RXTX 2.0 (http://www.rxtx.org) as a drop-in replacement for
CommAPI. I'm not sure if there are prebuilt binaries for it anywhere,
but the source distribution includes a script that can build and package
it for you.
