accessing USB devices with Java? I don't think thats a good option.
1. Java directly wont be able to do that
2.Only option will be to write somethin in C/C++ or any other low lever programming and then use JNI to access that.
This is rather complicated and in my opinion a serious overkill for the project.
3.However if you want to work from Linux env then This API (http://javax-usb.org/) might help
