Working Bluetooth Java Library for Windows 10 Desktop

[Chris Keilitz]

I've been desperately seeking a Bluetooth Java library that works with Windows 10 on a fairly current version of Java e.g., JDK v8+. I've used the BlueCove library version 2.1.1-SNAPSHOT on winsock, but it's last update appears to be more than 10 years ago and remote discovery doesn't work for me. It finds the full local device info, intermittent on pre-known devices, but doesn't find anything for remote devices (see dump below).  I'm new to Bluetooth, so I could be doing something wrong, but I've tried literally dozens (if not more) of examples available on the web, can get most to work, but all respond in the same way.

My question is, do you know of any current, supported Bluetooth Java library that works on Microsoft Windows 10, for a Java desktop application?  if so, have you tested the Java / desktop app recently in terms of its ability to discover remote devices?  By the way, I'm trying to get the Java desktop app to talk to this scale: http://skale.cc/en/
