Mellis et.al. :
Just wanted to let you all know that using the symbolic link just worked with my flash (serproxy) -> arduino problems, I've been busy with work lately so hadn't had any time to try it out, but within 5 minutes it was all set.
my arduino's serial number was showing cu.usbserial-A10?15S9 (it was the same problem with tty... but it was mentioned that tty causes crashes on some systems)
and now after applying the symbolic link and ls -la we have cu.arduino -> cu.usbserial-A10?15S9
And everything appears to be working as it should (on a PowerPC laptop anyway), the iMac(Intel) is still in progress but i think this was all that is wrong now that the conflicting jars are out of the way. Everything works for once, an now it's on to flash Pong with potentiometers!
