usb4java is a Java library to access USB devices. The low-level part is based on the native libusb 1.0 library. Java NIO buffers are used for data exchange between libusb and Java. The high-level part implements the javax.usb standard (JSR-80).
Supported platforms are Linux (x86 32/64 bit, ARM 32 bit), OS X (x86 32/64 bit) and Windows (x86 32/64 bit). But other platforms may work as well (as long as they have at least Java 6 and are supported by libusb) by compiling the JNI library manually.
