Notes:

usb4java is a Java library to access USB devices. The
low-level part is based on the native href="http://www.libusb.org/">libusb 0.1 shared library
and reflects this API as complete as possible. Java NIO
buffers are used for data exchange between libusb and Java.
The high-level part implements the href="http://www.javax-usb.org/">javax.usb standard
(JSR-80).

Supported platforms are Linux (Intel 32/64 bit), Mac OS X
(Intel 32/64 bit,
PowerPC 32 bit) and Windows (Intel 32/64 bit). But other
platforms may work
as well (as long as they have Java 6 and are supported by
libusb) by
compiling the JNI library manually.

For Windows the libusb port of the
href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/libusb-win32/wiki">libusb-win32
project
is used and you need to create and install a driver for
the USB device you
want to use with usb4java (Instructions can be found on
the libusb-win32
website).

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
