JSR80

This is the official development site of the Java Specification Request 80 (JSR80). This project is licensed under the Common Public License and is developed using the Java Community Process. It is officially assigned the java package "javax.usb".

Please read the FAQ!

The project has a mailing list, and file releases. The API release contains just the javax.usb API. The OS-independent Reference Implementation contains a common partial implementation of javax.usb, and the Linux Reference Implementation connects the common RI to the Linux USB stack. All three packages are required for a functioning javax.usb (on Linux). The releases contained in the CVS repository are:

• javax-usb : This is the API.
• javax-usb-ri : This is the common RI.
• javax-usb-ri-linux : This is the Linux implementation.
• javax-usb-ri-windows : This is an ABANDONED Windows implementation. it does not work, it needs a kernel driver.
• javax-usb-libusb : This is an alpha libusb implementation (written for Windows).
• javax-usb-tck : This is the Test Compliance Kit (TCK) required by the JCP.
• javax-usb-example : This package contains example code that shows how the API can be used.

There is also a BSD implementation created by Ricoh. For more information, visit either their global site or US site and register for the Ricoh Developer Program (RiDP).

There is a draft overview available. The API JavaDoc is also available. The RI(s) JavaDoc is available with the package(s), but not yet provided online.
