getting names of attched USB devices

[Halfbax]

Hello,

I am stucking at the next part of my project. I need to get the name and path of all attached usb devices. The problem is that I am searching for a solution which is working on linux and windows, because of reason that the program is running on my raspberry pi and my desktop pc. I dont like external API's.

It would be nice if something give me a tip or something like that.

//Edit:
My plan is to get the path of a specific usb stick by name and read the files which are inside of it.

//Edit2:
Okay, when I what to work with usb4java (http://usb4java.org/), how do I start. I dont understand their quickstart guide

Greetz,

So JFileChooser won't show the top level roots in Linux? I know it works in Windows and it shows the names assigned to those logical drives.

What part of the quick start don't you understand?

And can you elaborate on this:

I dont like external API's.

What is an external API, a library that someone else wrote? And why don't you like them?
