javax.comm Jar for Windows MIA

Oracle (previously Sun) has removed the javax.comm jar file for Windows from their site (no comment, although they still support other platforms: link). Anyway, for those Windows developers out there, here’s a link to to the Javax.comm jar for Windows.

It works with XP. I haven’t tried it for Windows 7. Please let me know if you’ve tried this version with Windows 7 or if there’s another version of the javax.comm jar you like better.

Does this work for any version of the JDK? i.e. Does it work on 6u5?

It’s been a while since I’ve used this. It worked fine up to 5.

  Would not surprise me. I haven’t worked with this code in several years and do not currently know whether or not there is a compatible library for Windows 7. You might try this link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index-jsp-141752.html
