Having trouble compiling something with javax.comm.*
I have some code that I am simply trying to compile.
In the header, it has the following statement:
import javax.comm.*
I have downloaded the Java Communications API (even though it does not look like this is available for Windows - I saw other posts where users claim to be using this with Windows) I downloaded the x86 version. I tried placing the files in my Sun folder and my Java (JRE) folder and when I try to compile I keep getting "package javax.comm does not exist).
Can someone tell me 1) What to download if I have the wrong files. 2) Where to put these files. 3) I think there is some win32com.dll file that I must have on the client machine, but I'm not sure where to get it and where to put it on the client machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Classpath.

It's not, indeed. Sun scrapped it. Use RXTX instead.

That was the old 2.0 version.

RXTX

Anywhere you want. And then add that place to your classpath, or your build path in case you're using an IDE.

Explained in the manual.
