I checked the rxtx project and it seems it will only look for something
like ttyS* or ttyUSB*. Some explanation abt that is here:

Or, you could add a symlink with a name it does search for:
sudo ln -s /dev/rfcomm0 /dev/ttyS9
This last is same as used for wine:
ln -s /dev/rfcomm0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1
I have defined /dev/ttyS9 as a symbolic link to /dev/rfcomm0 but "get
ports" button don't find. If I digit /dev/ttyS9 in port field I get two
pop-up messages: "Could not connect to GPS port" and "Could not open GPS
port"
If I put /dev/rfcomm0 in port field I get two pop-up message: "Serial
port /dev/rfcomm0 does not exist! Was the GPS removed?" and "Could not
open GPS port"
Finally using
java -jar -Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/rfcomm0 javapskmail.jar
I don't find port using "get port" button and, if I digit /dev/rfcomm0
in port field, I get two pop-up messages: "Could not connect to GPS
port" and "Could not open GPS port"
RXTX library is from Ubuntu 10.04 repo and version 2.1-7
Using minicom or GtkTerm I am able to get info from /dev/rfcomm0 and
also from /dev/ttyS9 (link to /dev/rfcomm0)
So the problem in not only in port detection but also in port opening.
Port /dev/rfcomm0 is root:dialout and login user is member of dialout
group but, also changing permission to port (chmod a+rw /dev/rfcomm0)
there is same error message.
