I know this is not a Linux forum, but I have not been able to find a way to install support for serial ports in Java on Linux (Ubuntu). I wanted to write a Java program to connect to an embedded microcontroller using Java and Eclipse, but I could not figure out how to do that and none of the solutions on the Internet or in the various forums seemed to work. I was just wondering if anyone here uses Java and could tell me how to install support for serial port programming. I had to resort to using C# in Linux using MonoDevelop which works well, but I would really like to write a Java program to do the same thing.

Confused

There's the Java Communications API (javax.comm) which seems to be
exactly what you are looking for.

However, that seems to date back into 1997, and I'm not sure it if has
been updated ever since.
