The bluetooth apis recommended in the oracle tutorials are included in the JSR 82 API specification.

I think though, that the latest release of the BlueCove (2.1.1)includes the driver for windows 7 64.

check:

You can download the JSR 82 specification and source code here:

A good oracle tutorial how to start is:
