#Welcome to the PureJavaComm

PureJavaComm is an Application Programmin Interface (API) for accessing serial ports from Java, so this is a library aimed at programmers, not end users.

PureJavaComm aims to be a drop-in replacement for Sun's (now Oracle) abandoned JavaComm and an easier to deploy alternative to RXTX.

PJC is written 100% in Java so it is easy for Java programmers to develop and debug and it requires no native libraries. Native access to the underlaying operating system's serial port programming interface is provided by the wonderful JNA library which takes away all the pain of compiling and deploying native code.

For those interested in the history and internal workings of PureJavaComm should see the original and still pretty much up-to-date home page of PureJavaComm.

PJC is BSD licensed but please note it depends on JNA which is ASL and/or LGPL licensed.

Hopefully the installation and usage of this library is mostly self evident for Java programmers, nevertheless brief instructions can be found at Installing PureJavaComm
