Hi Franco,
Yes, you are quite right and your java seems fine.
What getComPorts does is a call to gnu.io to get the ports:
portEnum = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
The help explanation for that method is:
"Obtains an enumeration object that contains a CommPortIdentifier object
for each port in the system.
Returns:
Enumeration that can be used to enumerate all the ports known to the
system"
So it only gets a list of the ports in the current system, it does not
open them. I have not had an issue there. I often use an Asus EEE with a
usb com port and its been fine. It could be version related with gnu.io
perhaps?
But, you should be able to work anyway now as you can open the
preferences and set what you need and save, restart jpskmail and all
should be fine. I can have a look at moving the call to populate the com
port list into the checkbox or just add a button that lets the user get
the ports.
