Hi, I am trying to write a Java program that allows the communicate with Computer's Communication ports (Serial/Parallel or USB) or the Infa-red communication port. At this moment, i still cannot find any ways to communicate with any of the ports. Any one have any ideas what packages i should use ? Please help

Hi
,
For serial/parallel there is the standard java communications API (javax.comm):
http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/index.jsp
There is a chapter about this API in O'Reilys Java I/O.
I googled for JAVA USB API and there is JSR80 that comes up.
There are also some open source API's around. All on the first google page.
I don't know if there is such a thing for an infrared port.
I have to mention that I have so far never used any of these.
Cheers,
Michael
