Java USB support on Windows -- Yes or No

807580Oct 9 2008 — edited May 10 2010

I've been doing all kinds of research about Java USB support for windows. Between jUSB, JSR-80, and LibUsb(Win32), I have had limited success.

I just need a definitive answer, or an example of anyone that has gotten fully functioning, bug free, USB support for Windows via Java.

This is for a project where I am trying to read input from a parallel port into my PC. Since Java can not recieve parallel input on Windows (it only can transmit it), I decided to use a Parallel to USB converter. However, it seems Java is coming up short again, at least for Windows. So any other non-USB alternatives are welcome to be suggested.

Thanks!
Brady
