Java and Stamp?

I'm starting to learn Java, and I was hoping to use it to communicate with my BOE-Bot through the FTDI USB-serial adapter.·I would like to have the robot send the computer sensor data, the computer interpret the data, and then send the robot simple commands, like "F" (forward), and then an argument, like 3 (seconds). Does anyone have a java·class or explanation for me? Any help would be appreciated.

    There is an excellent book out there for exactly this sort of application:

    "The Definitive Guide to Building Java Robots" by Scott Preston, Publisher apress.

    As an added bonus, he even choose the BS2 for the microcontroller! It's a wonderful book filled with practical code samples. But, at $50, it's a bit pricey for some. So, if you don't want to get it, then I'll dirrect you to the correct dirrection: find out how to open up a COM port on your computer. Also, you may want to take a look at the Javalin Stamp. Although not supported by the book, it does use java.
