About JavaBT
JavaBT is a Bluetooth API for Personal Java running under Symbian OS. This project is the outcome of a master thesis at SICS and Uppsala University.
Most smartphones uses a JSR-82 API to access Bluetooth from Java. A problem with JSR-82 is that it does not give the user full control of the Bluetooth connection setup and data transfer. In application such as MobiTip the application needs more control of the Bluetooth device than JSR-82 can offer. For example timings and resuming of commands is something that JSR-82 does not support.
JavaBT is constructed to give a Java application more control of Bluetooth commands than JSR-82.
