what are you planning to use the java app for? assuming you're
connecting to this serial port from (for example) a host's first USB
serial port, you should be able to try it out with plain ol' GNU screen:
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
(if your device defaults to a different baud rate, substitute it for
115200).
you'd get out of it like killing any other screen session: C-a C-k
