If you have a Windows SP2 compatible dongle then you will need the Bluecove XP project see http://sourceforge.net/projects/bluecove/
this needs the intelbth.dll copied into your windows area as per instructions in kit.

See also the website for examples of connection

Good Luck

I have used bluesock and bluecove standalone ok, but I see don't see how to get the WTK emulator to use them as default.

I would imagine I need to overlay some stuff in the WTK, with parts(s) from the sock/cove packagaes, so WTK picked them up first? No sure how.

You cannot do on-device runtime/debug with WTK.
You need Netbeans I use version 4.1. from the Sun website.
This does need (J2SE) Java 2 Standard edition.

You cannot link into WTK. You can run BT code. You run two copies of the program and they link via BT emulator code in WTK

Bluecove is the only way to talk BT USB and that means you needs a MS XP XP2 BT USB.

Oh I did try hacking in overlaying the JSR82 code drivers but it does not work!
