Description Nikolas 'Atrus' Coukouma 2004-11-26 14:27:14 UTC 
This ebuild adds support for RXTX, a native lib providing serial and parallel communication for Java. I reccomend it goes in dev-java/rxtx

ebuild for RXTX
Comment 2 Nikolas 'Atrus' Coukouma 2004-11-26 14:33:39 UTC 
Er, it might be worth including some info messages saying that programs that use RXTX must be run in the following manner:
java -Djava.library.path=$(java-config -i rxtx-2) Class

I wonder if there's a better solution ...

What did you intend by:

DEPEND="!virtual/javacomm"
Comment 4 Nikolas 'Atrus' Coukouma 2004-12-20 09:59:00 UTC 
The 2.1.x versions of RXTX conflict with the java communications API from Sun. See bug #71606
