I kind of missed this thread before. However, current rxtx
version has problems how it handles the JNI pointer inside it's
C code. This might or might not be a showstopper (might crash VM
when it hits). The rxtx author is aware of the problem, but I don't
know if it has been fixed.

I was hoping that I would no longer have to maintain
FreeBSD commapi and tried to use RXTX to talk to
dallas 1-wire devices (see www.ibutton.com). I was hit
by this bug and I decided to continue using FreeBSD commapi
since it looked that the fix for rxtx was not coming
soon.
