in my (limited) experience, talking to USB devices from Java isn't usually much fun, but if it's exposing itself as a serial port then I'd imagine it will be easier. If the device manufacturers have an API for Java, great (check their site). If they don't, and want to make this work ASAP, you may want to quick try to use a serial to socket server, and then simply "talk" to that local port. That isn't the most elegant solution, but may be the fastest to get up and running.
