Hi all, this is my first post here.
I recently got an arduino and have set it up with a rain sensor, temp sensor, 2 motors, a pc fan, and a LED light. I want to be able to interface it with a Java GUI I made in eclipse, the only problem is that I have no clue how to do it. What I want it to do is display if the light, fan, or motors are on, and let the user pick the temp that the fan turns on. Any help would be great.......Thanks.......
First result might be helpful.

I do something similar with my arduino, but to a .Net GUI. I monitor temperature and send out an XML document through the ethernet shield.
You can also send commands down to your arduino board. I came up with a simple 8 byte command language to configure my board, and send back an XML document with the data. This gets displayed and stored in a SQL database.
That sounds cool, but what i did was made a scale house that is temperature controlled and the motors drive the windows. So I have to have it run nonstop and didn't really want to store anything in a file, because the temp is going to be checked 3-5 times a second.
