Under Netbeans 5.5 on Windows, I needed to right-click Librariesunder Projects on the left hand side of the screen, and select Add JAR/Folder, picking the RXTXcomm.jar file. Only then did my "import gnu.io.*;" become a valid command. Also, I got a run-time error where it failed to load the rxtxSerial.DLL library because it couldn't find it. I needed to right-click the project name, select properties, select Run under categories, and add a VM Options: entry of
-Djava.library.path="C:/where-ever-you-stuck-rxtxSerial.DLL-file;%PATH%"
While I'm sure there is more than one way of adding the directory to your path, this worked for me. Note I did the default NetBeans 5.5/JDK 1.6.0 isntall accepting all the default options(ie clicking next until I got to finish), so I haven't modified my java paths or anything.
make sure you type "import gnu.io.*"
