Distributables
RXTX 2.1 Is the main development branch for RXTX. The namespace used is gnu.io.*. Unless you have any specific reasons, this is the recommended download. If you need to be compatible with javax.comm.* then download RXTX 2.0, but note that not much development effort is provided for this branch so you will be missing out on all the fixes that the main branch is getting.
It should also be noted that there was a change in the way things were distributed. 2.1 includes a binary package that contains the binaries for the various platforms and a source package. 2.0 on the other hand is a bit of a muddle. Things change, things improve.
Binary version rxtx 2.0-7pre1 (stable) is incomplete, at least for Windows. Use newer binary version such as rxtx 2.1-7r2 (stable), which does work on Windows.
Release | Binary | Source |
---|---|---|
rxtx 2.1-7r2 (stable) | rxtx-2.1-7-bins-r2.zip | rxtx-2.1-7r2.zip |
rxtx 2.0-7pre2 (stable) | Linux/x86 Win32 (incomplete) | source |
RXTX 2.2 will replace RXTX 2.1 once it is stable.
Release | Binary | Source |
---|---|---|
rxtx 2.2pre2 (prerelease) | rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip | rxtx-2.2pre2.zip |
TODO: The 2.2pre2 bins contain the 2.2pre1 jar file and the 2.2pre2 native lib which causes a mismatch warning
Other releases can be found in the archive and you can also check the change history in the change log.
How to extract the files |
---|
unzip rxtx-[].zip or |
rename to rxtx-[].jar and jar -xf rxtx-[].jar; |
ToyBox Distributables
The ToyBox has about 35 platforms (and growing). If you have a toy (even an s390), we have the ToyBox. Find the OS, Libc, and CPU You are looking for. Please report any problems to the mail-list. Unix users can extract zip files with jar -xf foo.zip. It works fine and on all platforms we support. Distributables can be found in the ToyBox directory.

x64 Binaries
Should you wish to use RxTx on a x64 based computer, note that the downloads on this page will not work, for x64 compiled binaries go to: Cloudhopper RxTx page. Binaries have been tested successfully on Windows Server 2008 R2, although they are slightly outdated (december 2008).
