Hi Erik:

I visited the Java USB API (JSR 80) page recently and noticed that they've started the final release stage as of June 8. More intriguing was the inclusion of Apple Computer, Inc. on the Expert Group list. Does anyone on the list have any insight into this API and when/if we might see this in an OS X
JRE?

Lack of standardized peripheral IO support in Java has always been a weak link, IMHO.

I've started a project over at SourceForge to port javax.usb to OS X, but haven't really had any time to get started on it:


                                    http://sf.net/projects/javaxusbosx

I've recently been working on my first OS X USB project (having previously worked with USB via javax.usb), and am just getting a handle on OS X's IOKit APIs, and will hopefully find the time to start on this project in the next few months.

Sorry for the slow progress on this one -- but for now my other projects have had to come first :P. If people are sufficiently driven to get this API ported to OS X and are interested in pitching in, let me know.
