RE: [dsdp-pmc] TM "works with" or "pre-req" dependency on RXTX (LGPL)

No, just RXTX.

 

Although, a more correct answer would be: the RXTX Java API needs to be implemented,

and that API is a clone of the javax.comm API translated into a gnu.io package namespace.

 

So, if you are a vendor who has an existing implementation of Javax.comm for

serial communications (such as the IBM J9 VM's have, for instance), you could

create a wrapper in the gnu.io namespace and it should theoretically work.

 

So, you could create a non-LGPL implementation based on the javax.comm APIs.

But this doesn't work out of the box.
