Cross platform compatability

Great job on the hardware and software. A few suggestions:

Include all of the jars you are dependent on or provide an ant target for downloading them.

Have you given any thought to using the RXTX gnu.io classes instead of Sun's? Sun does not support Java Comm API on any platform other than Windows and Solaris. The RXTX gnu.io classes work on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X without any problems.

Include ant targets to set up RXTX and JDOM for each platform.

You should be able to use a single build.xml file for all platforms.

Thanks for the complement.

What jar files are you missing? I thought I provided everything needed to compile and run the AVRcamVIEW.

I did look at the RXTX from gnu, but I didn't have any experience using it and I had used SUN's version before so I just stuck with it.

I have put some thought into using one build.xml file, but haven't taken the time to actually do it yet. When I started on this project, I was new to ANT and since then I have used it many times and I want to go back and update the build script.

Thanks for your suggestions,
Bud

Excuse me...

What is this "software." all about?
