    Default Re: Detect USB signal

    I looked into this a while back and recall not having much success (and I never had the necessity to pursue it further). I do recall finding 3rd party jar libraries that could have been used but this was a while back (if I recall correctly the ones I saw functioned through JNI and seemed platform dependent). A bit antiquated, but take a look at this article: Access USB devices from Java applications.
    I'd be interested if you find a solution.

    Thanks, I realized that I have to learn this jUSB first, I am new to java and it might take time before I can implement this. Temporarily, I use autorun.inf.

    Thanks again.
