This is sort of an announcement -- I don't think it's been posted here
before,
but it's quite on-topic for Java/Linux support.
http://jusb.sourceforge.net/
has a Java API giving access to the Linux USB support. LGPL'd, so you can
use it
in products. This has been developed in sync with the Linux USB kernel
support,
and with kernel 2.4.0-test9 (plus test10 prepatches) has been solid for a
number
of things including the "jPhoto" application (follow the link) supporting a
new
USB standard for digital still image devices (like cameras).
The most recent source is a developer snapshot (0.4.0) that's partly through
the
first cleanup of the API since this Spring -- good time to comment if you
have
suggestions about that. RMI support is in the works, so if you compileon
Win32
you'll get client side support. (Feel free to contribute a Win32
implementation.)
What's solid is control and bulk communications; periodic transfers aren't
available
at this time, though Linux should support some "interrupt" style transfers.
Enough of the announcement -- download the software and use it! :-
