What sort of support does Java have for serial ports? I heard the javax.comm for Windows was abandoned in 2006. Is it still useable, or can you recommend a 3rd party add-on that will provide serial support for Java?<br />
<br />
How about Java serial port support on other platforms? Is javax.comm still active and updated for other platforms:

Java Serial Port suport

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
