It is documented as a modified version of [gohai/java-simple-serial-connector](https://github.com/gohai/java-simple-serial-connector) and [sampottinger/jssc](https://github.com/sampottinger/jssc), \n\n\ncurrently migration [pull request](https://github.com/processing/processing4/pull/1106 )  lives under library/jssc.jar file and is custom-built, and it's a hurdle to issue #1099  \n\n### Solution\n\n- Create a downstream fork under the foundation org to maintain and publish the custom JAR\n\n- Or incorporate the needed source directly into the repo\n\nPer @Stefterv  suggestion, I’m opening this issue to track the long-term resolution of this dependency problem","author":{"url":"https://github.com/madhav2348","@type":"Person","name":"madhav2348"},"datePublished":"2025-07-30T10:30:42.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/1194/processing4/issues/1194"}
