B4J Library Updated JSSC.Jar

I fixed and recompiled the Native DLL for JSSC which was causing Access Violation crashes when attempting to open a serial port on Windows 10 64 bit systems with newer Java versions.

With Java 8 x64, it was hit and miss. One system crashed while another did not. x32 always worked of course.

With the recompiled DLL, everything works with all combinations. If however, you remove the USB serial device while it is open it will crash the JVM with the same Access Violation, but I never checked this behavior before as it may have been the same previously. Regardless, that is a small price to pay when everything works fine while its open.

Attached is a fixed jssc.jar. Put this in your Libraries folder and re-compile your App, or you can insert the DLL directly into your app's jar. Either way.

Also note that since the build is the same version number, you MUST go into your windows user profile folder and delete the cache .jssc folder. Java likes to use this instead of whats in the Jar!!!

Fixed the Access Violation on removing a USB serial device while it is open.

Now it just silently kills the AsyncStreams by executing the error routine. The way its supposed to.

Just in case it's never been confirmed before (I think the posts above are from a few days before the first Java 11 version of B4J was released); using techKnight's jssc.jar, jSerial is working with OpenJDK11 under Windows 10 64 bit.

Please post the error message.

Make sure that there is no jssc.jar in your internal libraries folder and that you are using the correct one.

That's certainly similar to the error I saw before this jssc.jar fixed it.
Have you followed the final instruction too?

Also note that since the build is the same version number, you MUST go into your windows user profile folder and delete the cache .jssc folder. Java likes to use this instead of whats in the Jar!!!

This refers to files in the C:\Users\'username'\.jssc\windows\ folder.

Thanks Chris 2, it works fine now.

I was thinking that I must delete the file cache in java (picture in attachment)

Thank you so much! Works like a charm. I almost lost hope with this when recently updated to win10 from win7. (had no problems before) Very cool to find a fix from some random forum that actually works.
