javax.comm on Windows

After looking for the 64 bits version of the java commapi package, I came across a post saying that "Oracle no longer supports the javax.comm API for any Windows", what a good news! Ah crap!
But eventually, I came across another post that lead me to http://rxtx.qbang.org/wiki/index.php/Using_RXTX.
It implements the comm api for all the systems you can think of..., Windows 32 & 64 bits, Sparc Solaris, Linux, Mac, and you can do the switch in no time. Really. And it is free and open source.
Ok, now I can keep reading NMEA data...
