No subject

on Windows there is some C code that makes Windows look more or less like
POSIX, is this correct?

On the face of it, that looks very reasonable.

What I was suggesting was to just do the low level access to the OS using
JNA. If and when a POSIX emulation (or equivalent mechanism) is needed that
can easily be coded in Java.

The ease of development, maintenance and deployment is so much better with
JNA than with JNI.

All the developer has to do is to include the jna.jar in the classpath
and create a few classes/interfaces in Java.

No C compiler and the associated pain in sight.

The same goes for the users of rxtx (if it takes the JNA route) and
even for the users of those applications using rxtx.
