Initializing a bluetooth connection

[Guest NastyNick]

Hi to all you computer boffins out there!

I'm having a little trouble doing something what appears to be straight forward. All I really need to do is establish a connection between my phone and a computer via bluetooth so I can stream or send some data over to it. Yes, naturally you can do this with the supplied software that comes with the bluetooth dongle in windows or linux, but i need to do it in a programming language - preferably java.

I've had a look through several demos and they seem to follow a pattern of: initialization (setting up ports, bandwidth, baud) then service discovery then connection stage and finally the communication. However it's the initialization of the bluetooth stack that I think is causing the problems.

Just for point of interest, I have tried this in Winxp sp2 and running similar java demos in linux too. And on different phones - My phone SPV C500 and the Samsung D500.

Please help me! :cry:
