I am using Epson_JavaPOS_ADK_11414_for_Linux_x64 for installing the JavaPOS with pcs ( sh installJavaPOSFull-64.sh )
I ran this program one after the other in different shells and the second process crashes for some reason:

openConnection("POSPrinter1");

System.out.println("Time taken to connect : " + timeElapsed.toString());
Thread.sleep(100000L);

System.out.println("terminated from try block");

Thread.sleep(5000);

} finally {

}
}
private static void openConnection(String printerName) throws JposException {
try {
String printerNamesss = printerName;
/**

*/
posPrinter.open(printerName);
isOpen = true;
System.out.println("opened");
/**

posPrinter.claim(3000);

System.out.println("claimed");
/**

posPrinter.setDeviceEnabled(true);

System.out.println("enabled");
} catch (JposException jposException) {
System.out.println("jpos exception in open : " + jposException.getMessage());
throw jposException;
} catch(Throwable t) {
System.out.println("unknown throwable open: " + t.getMessage());
}
}
public static void terminate() throws JposException {
try {
if(isOpen && isClaimed) {
posPrinter.clearOutput();
System.out.println("cleared output");
}
if(isEnabled) {
posPrinter.setDeviceEnabled(false);
isEnabled = false;
System.out.println("setDeviceEnabled false");
}
if(isClaimed) {
posPrinter.release();
isClaimed = false;
System.out.println("released");
}
if(isOpen) {
posPrinter.close();
isOpen = false;
System.out.println("closed");
}
} catch (JposException jposException) {
jposException.printStackTrace();
throw jposException;
} catch(Throwable t) {
System.out.println("unknown throwable terminate: " + t.getMessage());
}
}
}
First process output
opened
claimed
enabled
Time taken to connect : 7928 --> now I start the second process.
cleared output
setDeviceEnabled false
released
closed
terminated from try block
Second process output
opened
jpos exception in open : The port is already open.
jpos.JposException: The port is already open.

If you see the second process throws a JposException which then initiates its catch and closes the connection. Then it suddenly crashes instead of sleeping for 5sec.
Any help?
After discussing this problem with EPSON team, they were able to provide a fix for the same with a new libepsonjpos.so and epsonjpos.jar
It solved two problems for me:
Some quotes on the issue from Epson Team.
Multi-thread issue - "Change History The fix that has been applied is in the device sharing logic. Only affects lite-mode (No-SetupPOS version) The different objects falsely assumed as equal. As result only the first connected printer has been used. The fix corrects that comparison logic."
Claim Issue - "We are glad we could help you. As for the background of the issues. The multi-process usage with non-install mode was a corner case for our JavaPOS ADK. With your help we could improve our testing cases."
Epson team said that they will release the patches in the next version.
