Yes, "pure java" drivers are called like this because they are
based on a standard Java API that allows access to serial ports
(i.e., javax.comm package). So even if the Comm implementation
for a given platform makes JNI calls to C routines, they are
portable, just like any other pure Java program.
Now these drivers run on any platform *where javax.comm has been
ported*, i.e., (to my knowledge) : Linux, Solaris and Windows95/NT.
There is a company (http://www.serialio.com/) that has many more
ports to propose (Mac, IRIX, HP-UX, AIX, etc.). I haven't tested
them and would be interested in the results if you can use, for
example, the Gemplus Java drivers ;-) with any of these ports.
Hope it helps, I have unfortunately no answer for the other
questions.
Cheers,
Christophe.
