hello all,

I want to ask if somebody can help me to port a Windows Java program to Mac OS X Java.
For measurements I use the ELV/ALC Chargestation 8500 Expert on a old winxp laptop. Now I want too use my MacBook Pro but can get it port to OS X.


Is there someone who want to help me?
 
Do you even have the sourcecode?
 
java programs are by design multi platform Programs get the right java virtual engine it should run on the mac. That may be a problem the latest version for the mac is Version 8 Update 151
This is the oracle says :The latest available version is compatible with older versions. However, some Java applications (or applets) can indicate that they are dependent on a particular version, and may not run if you do not have that version installed.

If you have been directed to install a different version for a Java-based application, please first try the latest version.
If an application or web page you access requires an older version of Java, you should report this to the provider/developer and request that they update the application to be compatible with all Java versions.

Java is multiplataform but rxtx libraries must interact with JNI to work with serial ports, then the issues begin, I even have problems with rxtx in windows x64, orginal rxtx haven't support for x64 so you must use a fork, I don't have a mac so never faced this situation and I can't help much.

Regards
 
Don't know if this helps http://users.frii.com/jarvi/rxtx/index.html this page is mainly about porting rxtx to linux. The source code should be available as it is GPL/LGPL.
a different way of viewing the info would be to use the mac's built in VNC or teamviewer. that is if you can keep the old XP laptop running.
