Sun Communcation API installation under Eclipse and use ? [message #240694]

Hello,

I have to use the Comm API from Sun to connect to my serial port. I am
under Windows and so I have to install a dll (win32comm.dll) into the
jdk_dir\bin\ directory but when I write a program under Eclispe using the
Comm API and I run it under Eclipse, it doesn't work ! no port found !
because I think the win32com.dll is not a the right place or must be
linked to my project but how ??

Help me !

Thanks in advance !

Best regards

François

Are you sure the JDK used by eclipse is the same as the jdk where you
installed your dll? You could try launching eclipse with -vm
/path/to/jdk, just to be sure...
Does your program work when launched from the command line?

IIRC, you should copy the .dll to <jdk_home>/jre/bin/ or you may try
to copy it to a more common location like %windir%\System32.
