SerialPortList.getPortNames() with no ports on system crashes, returns 1

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If I call getPortNames() with no com ports currently created (a common 
situation, where someone forgets to plug in the USB adapter)

the line 

String[] comList = SerialPortList.getPortNames();

forces my NetBeans Platform to close, returning '1'.

Perhaps this isn't quite an issue, but I'm really not sure what it would be 
returning if the list is empty;  it apparently is not a String[].

I know about getPortNames() problem on some Linux distribs. I have fixed this 
issue in Test Build #4, and I recommend you to try it. If you have no serial 
ports in your system you will receive a String[] will zero length.

If you use jSSC-0.7.1 I recommend you to use 0.8 branch.

Thank you scream3r.  I'm very happy with jSSC.

Oh! I apologize.  I was not thinking.  I am running Win7 64 bit, not Linux.

In Windows all must work fine. Can you send me a code where you have an error.

This is under 0.7.1.  testing under 0.8 reveals that the problem is gone.

I apologize for the trouble.  Issue closed.
