<section name="What is usb4java?">
<p>
usb4java is a Java library to access USB devices. It is based on
the native <a href="http://libusb.info/">libusb 1.0</a> library
and uses Java NIO buffers for data exchange between libusb and Java.
usb4java also supports the
<a href="http://javax-usb.sourceforge.net/">javax-usb standard (JSR-80)</a>
through the <a href="usb4java-javax/">usb4java-javax extension</a>.
</p>
<p>
Supported platforms are <strong>Linux</strong> (x86 32/64 bit, ARM 32 bit),
<strong>OS X</strong> (x86 32/64 bit) and
<strong>Windows</strong> (x86 32/64 bit). But other platforms may work
as well (as long as they have at least Java 6 and are supported by
libusb) by compiling the JNI library manually.

&lt;version&gt;${project.version}&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;
&lt;/dependencies&gt;
&lt;-- For using usb4java with javax-usb --&gt;
