Sparab:

== Introduction ==

The intended objectives and architecture are documented in the RxTX_Rewrite.pdf document in the ReWrite2010 of the in the source repository. To summarise:

Provide a reference implementation of the javax.comm package using open source code. The existing version 2.x source code will be completely re-written.

Design Objectives:
* Reference implementation – strictly adheres to the javax.comm API.
* Small footprint - Java and C code should strive to be as small as possible.
* Good performance – Java code should provide the shortest path possible to the native code. Native code should provide the shortest path possible to the underlying system.
* Fault tolerant - Java and C code should handle I/O errors gracefully, providing good error recovery.
* Proven – Java unit tests should achieve 100% code coverage.
* Compatible – the rewrite should be a drop-in replacement for the javax.comm library.

The rewrite was discussed in a [http://mailman.qbang.org/pipermail/rxtx/2010-September/8084235.html mailing-list thread].

== What is left to be done and known issues ==

* Java Unit Tests
* Native code for MacOS X and Unix systems

== Building the code ==

Meanwhile here are some hints to build the native dll under windows.
