I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I am running Windows 7 and when i disconnect something that uses VCOM.

My application locks up when I disconnect the device.

Here's the event generated in the System Log XML:

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,
Martin

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?
 
Thanks,

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to 
app" and "well known disconnect and crash problem" wasn't able to solve 
my problem.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

I have looked at the "USB disconnecting safe and fast data transfer to

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Neuron Robotics' fork of RxTx claims to do what you're looking for:

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes 
in a month or two for the next round of OSs.

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Hi Martin,

I have Win64 binaries, but they are slightly modified versions of what's in HEAD.  See here for details:

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.

Message-ID: <146B1557584B0B4DBD25ABAD45EF70F00E5FD6BF@ALA-MBB.corp.ad.wrs.com>

Hi all,

Does anybody have any fairly current rxtx binaries for windows 64-bit?

Last ones I found were in rxtx-2.2pre2 (dated 4-Feb 2009):
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip

Has anything relevant happened to the repository since?
How stable can 2.2pre2 be considered compared to HEAD ?

I'm considering building a more recent Eclipse update site for RXTX, and I'd like to use the most stable builds I can get.
   http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/downloads/

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Chris,

This is interesting ... though I'm concerned that I also need Linux which you haven't built.

I'm also concerned that your patches haven't made their way into CVS - does anybody have any concerns with applying Chris' patches?
The System.loadLibrary fix in CommPortIdentifier for instance seems really straightforward ... any reason why this hasn't been integrated?
http://bugzilla.qbang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151

Does anybody have experience with Chris' binaries, or with CVS HEAD-of-commapi-1-0-0 stability?

Chris... assuming that I'd integrate your changes into RXTX CVS, could you re-build off CVS?
I notice that I still have RXTX commit rights, and by that approach we could share efforts (me on CVS + Linux, you on Windows + Mac)...
Could anybody volunteer for reviewing my CVS checkins [I've been away from the project so long I'd rather have somebody review]?

It looks like some work went into offspins over the past 2 years, there's an unfinished "Rewrite2010" repository (Windows only for now), and there's the purejavacomm initiative... while both still claim that RXTX itself is most stable... is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

I initiated the Rewrite2010 effort. I wasn't aware the rewrite claimed 
that RxTx was stable. On the contrary, the purpose of the rewrite was to 
fix a number of issues with the legacy code.

There was considerable interest in the rewrite until the preliminary 
code was committed, then interest fell off. I am available to assist if 
anyone still wants to participate in the rewrite.

I had a thought...
    What if all the Platform Specific libraries were included in the
distributed jar file, then there could be a java class something like
installUtils with installIfNeeded().

Then if the end-users ever upgrade their jre, applications could be
smart enough to realize the libs no longer exist and install them in
the proper location.

Has someone already written such code, or should I get started ?

I've built it under Linux, too, and it worked fine for me.  See the very last section of the README:

	http://code.google.com/p/create-lab-commons/source/browse/trunk/java/lib/rxtx/README.txt

I do not, however, have binaries of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  I figured anyone wanting to use my modified version of RxTx would want to build for their particular linux flavor anyway.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...too bad I can't find it in a maven repository.

My PureJavaComm which is based on JNA uses a similar stratege (JNA does
it all) so there is never a platform library that you need to build,
install or worry about:

Personally I've never had a stability issue with RXTX on Mac or Windows
so for me it has appeared stable.

On the otherhand with USB/serial adapters I've had issue even with pure
C-code.

Just writing too fast more than 1 k characters to FTDI adapter will render
Mac OS X paralyzed: you can see that it is still running but it does not
respond to mouse or keyboard....




> is RXTX mainstream dead or still alive?

Not even on life support, ER staff has left the building.

Seriously, nothing much has happened for a few years IIRC, on the other
hand for many people it works as advertised, but some people have had
issues.

I think it is lacking of people willing to actually work on the paper cut
issues,
not very interesting but requires effort and equipment and access to
platforms and tools.

I was not interested although JavaComm is very much in my interest.

Instead I took the PureJavaComm route, the scenery was much better and the
destination looks promising.

Hi Martin,

If you have time to do some sanity checks, feel free to put them into CVS. 
I will eventually get to it when I qualify some new OS versions in a month 
or two if you don't.

I'm still using that branch.  I suspect I'll need to do some minor fixes

The development activity is low on RXTX.  The project is also working for 
many people.  I look at it every six months now and put any changes I need 
in to the CVS head after testing if they are needed.  Its been working 
well me as CVS activity shows.  The library is tested as part of an 
automated test harness at my work several times a day.

Matching everyones binary requirements is difficult though.

There have been many ideas for rewrites.  We even supported some here as 
you noticed.

The easiest thing to do, anytime you have a JNI library to use, is just include all the versions in the jar, and copy them out to a temp file as created by File, and the use load instead of loadLibrary to load from that path.

Makes the users job easy.  You do need to think about Exception handling in case it was already loaded hand act accordingly.
