discovering the underlying operating system
I have the following problem:
I am working with RxTx to communicate with a serial port, but with RxTx I noticed I should have a certain dll file for windows and other corresponding files for other operating systems.
My problem is that I want my java program to be able to decide which one to use on its own? Is that possible? if so, how?
Thanks

The rxtx Java part takes care of that, i.e. it will load a .so file on *nixesand it will load a .dll file on windows. Proper installation took care of that.kind regards,Jos
help please, I still do not understand.Another question is:I found alot of sites saying that javaComm and RxTx can b used together and others that say it isnot good . what should I do?I should only use one, which one offers maximum portability?Thanks;

Javacomm does not support Windows (anymore). So I'd say: go for RXTX.
