Serial communication with multiple usb devices

[JToddCorley]

I guess the root of my question is: Can I establish multiple serial connections with pi4j?

I started out using the 40pin header of my Pi4 and in my project decided to move the pin/connection monitoring out to multiple Arduino nano boards. I was already set up for using pi4j and following the serial example I was able to connect to one nano and open a serial com chanel, but when I tried to create a second serial object to talk to another nano I get

IO instance [com.pi4j.plugin.pigpio.provider.serial.PiGpioSerial] already exists in the Pi4J runtime context; unable to create a new instance using this reserved id.

My setup looks like this
var serial = pi4j.create(Serial.newConfigBuilder(pi4j).baud(Baud._115200).dataBits(DataBits._8)
.parity(Parity.NONE).stopBits(StopBits._1).flowControl(FlowControl.NONE).id("my-serial")
.device("/dev/ttyUSB2").provider("pigpio-serial").build());
serial.open();

I was hoping to change the id and device to create the second serial channel.
I also tried multiple context objects and that got really weird with VM crashes.

I am out of documentation to read at this point and hoping for advice.
Even if it "you can't get there from here", thanks in advance for any input.
