Subject: [linux-usb-devel] Announce:  jUSB 0.4.4
Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 16:19:11 -0800

Hi,

For those of you interested in the Java USB support, I thought I'd post a
note that the jUSB 0.4.4 release is out.  Minor bugfixes, and the USB 2.0
hub feature bits are now visible.

    http://jusb.sourceforge.net/

This is a basic user mode API to USB (currently only on GNU/Linux)
from Java.  There's javadoc, it's LGPL'd, works with GCJ (as well as
JVM's based on Sun's code).  You can experiment with remote access
to USB if you like.  Works best with Linux 2.4 but 2.2.18+ can be
made to behave too.  Still doesn't support USB periodic transfers.

This can be used from C/C++ too, using GCJ; see the website, and help
make GCC 3.0 happen!  Among other things, since GCJ compiles Java
code into standard object files, you can use more of the standard Linux
software tools (GDB, RPM, etc) when developing your apps.  And yes,
performance (such as startup time) is already a win (ymmv).

- Dave
