I'm a java developer and I love this techonology. However, in my advisor next research we are going to use extensively touch-screen devices on Windows. This is a problem for me, because I'm used to programming on Linux and with Java.

The question is, is there an API for Java for touchscreen devices? If yes, is this API good/mature? The need for a Java API is not only because I love Java but because I don't know how to program specifically to Windows, that is, I've never used Win32 or .NET. If there isn't is there something available for Mono? I hate to exclude platforms.
