List all serial port in java

Question

I have created an application in java for Modbus hardware device. I can install my application on Windows system which works fine. But I am facing Issue when I tried to use my application Linux operating system. The reason behind this issue is serial port, because of which I am not able to connect my application with the hardware other than Windows operating system. Now I want to find the list of serial ports(operating system wise) & add them into the JComboBox at the place of comport(refer below image). I need to distribute this application on Windows, Linux, MacOS. I can detect the operating system through my code. I have checked a lot resources, but none of them were useful to me.

Need some help to detect the serial port of the system.

Thanks in advance.

This code might help you. It will give you the list of connected devices at serial port. Use https://fazecast.github.io/jSerialComm/ library to run this code.

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SerialPort[] ports = SerialPort.getCommPorts();
        List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (SerialPort port : ports) {
            System.out.println(port.getSystemPortName());
            list.add(port.getSystemPortName());
        }
        System.out.println("List of serial port is : "+list);
    }
}
