How to deploy Java Communications API

I've been developing a java application with the eclipse RCP which requires the Java Communications API. Now as the javax.comm has to be setup first (install javax.comm.properties, win32comm.dll and comm.jar) my question ist: How should I deploy my application to make sure javax.comm will be setup on the user's machine? Should I provide an installer which does the setup or should I let the application itself export the files in their respective directories?

I have never before done such a thing, so I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks

  • I'm using RXTX instead of Java Comm, but the problem is the same, i think. The RXTX site has a documentation about it, please see the Wiki. The description is for Eclipse 3.3, but works for 3.5 too.
