I think that Sun forgot USB.
How is it possible, these days when every gadget (camera, ipod etc) has an USB port, to be very hard to connect to an USB device from Java???
Yeah yeah, I know there’s a JSR for this problem, JSR 80. There are also some implementations of the JSR 80 (all are almost dead projects).
But my problem is: why SUN doesn’t include JSR 80 in the JDK specification???
The solution could be very simple: just take one implementation of the JSR 80 and put it in the JDK. Then the implementation will evolve naturally.

I hope I’ll see more support from OpenJDK in this problem.
