It seems silly to do our own scan of ports when RXTX already includes code for it. Scott Howard, who maintains Debian packages for Arduino and, I think, RXTX seems to agree, since he's modifying the RXTX package to look at /dev/ACM* devices instead of changing the Arduino code in this way. Still, this could be a useful fix for other distributions that would prefer not to modify their RXTX packages, but it's probably best applied as part of their Arduino packaging process. |

Indeed, it appears that upstream RXTX will be modified to scan all ports. |

This issue seems outdated now, I'm closing it. Please correct me if I'm wrong. |

Following on from the discussion in http://code.google.com/p/arduino/issues/detail?id=193, this change overrides the serial devices used by rxtx without having to provide a patched version.
