Hi all,


I'm trying to read some input coming in from a barcode reader through my COM port.
I'm using this code to detect the available com ports on my pc:



On J2SDK 1.4.2_08 this works.. on later versions (I tried _10 and 1.5) this doesn't work anymore..

How do I use the new sdk (1.5) to read input from the com ports?

Thanks!

Welcome to the JavaRanch.
The Java Comm API is discontinued. See the discussion here.
