I’d like to communicate with a USB device under Windows and Java but I can’t find a good library to do so. I don’t want the user to have to install any extra hardware or device drivers to make this work. That is, I want to be able to interact with USB just like other Windows applications do.
I am familiar with jUSB and JSR 80 but both seem to be dead projects (at least for Windows).
I did quite a bit of research on this some time ago, and the unfortunate fact was that all the useful free USB+Windows+Java projects were dead. There is commercial and expensive (price $39.99 is not per developer, but per copy of your software sold!) JCommUSB library which probably works, although I have no experience of it; we had to build our own custom C wrappers to the USB drivers and communicate with them through JNI.
