Guys, This is slightly off-topic, but since there are so many Java experts around here, I hope someone will react and help me off-list.
For a private pet project I need to connect to a microcontroller using the serial port. I currently have this running as a Delphi program on a Windows 95 machine, but I want to replace it with an improved version in Java/Cocoon on a Linux machine. To keep things simple I want to write a simple program that can read the serial port and put the info in a text file in a directory and read a text file from a (other) directory and put it on the serial port. A Cocoon-based webapp will read the resulting files and generate graphs (in SVG e.g.) and ask for user input which is written to other files. The problem is: how do I write the part that can communicate with the serial port? I don't know if I can do this in Java and I have never written software specifically for the Linux platform. Thanks.
