How to get javax.comm API?

Question

I'd recently downloaded a project on SMS sending, but when I tries to compile the code it gives error on line import javax.comm.*;.

Can anybody tell me where to find javax.comm and where to place so that there will be no compilation error.

Oracle Java Communications API Reference - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index-jsp-141752.html

Official 3.0 Download (Solarix, Linux) - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-misc-419423.html

Unofficial 2.0 Download (Windows installer) - http://kishor15389.blogspot.hk/2011/05/how-to-install-java-communications.html

In order to ensure there is no compilation error, place the file on your classpath when compiling (-cp command-line option, or check your IDE documentation).
