This code snippet shows how to retrieve the available comms ports on your computer. A CommPort is available if it is not being used by another application. Note the difference between the two examples is that the version for JDK 5.0 up uses [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/language/generics.html generics]:

JDK <= 1.4
<pre>
/**
* @return A HashSet containing the CommPortIdentifier for all serial ports that are not currently being used.
*/
public static HashSet getAvailableSerialPorts() {
HashSet h = new HashSet();
Enumeration thePorts = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
while (thePorts.hasMoreElements()) {
CommPortIdentifier com = (CommPortIdentifier) thePorts.nextElement();
switch (com.getPortType()) {
case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_SERIAL:
try {
CommPort thePort = com.open("CommUtil", 50);
thePort.close();
h.add(com);
} catch (PortInUseException e) {
System.out.println("Port, " + com.getName() + ", is in use.");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Failed to open port " + com.getName());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
return h;
}
</pre>

JDK >= 5.0
