This is not really a tip or a tutorial, more of a warning for others.
I made a small B4J program and wanted to distribute the program on a Windows 10 PC. As I was using jSerial, I followed the instructions here for special case 5 and added the line to my program.
I noticed that there was a space before "jssc.dll" and thought I could delete it as it was not required - Wrong! On running my program on another PC, jssc.dll could not be found. It seems that removing the space causes the file to be placed in a sub directory called jssc.dll. Leaving the space, places the file in "bin" directory as required. A silly mistake.
I thought I was being clever but I should have realised, if Erel puts a space somewhere, it is required. He doesn't make typo's.
