RXTX appears to be fairly close to abandonware at present. The rxtx.org 
host doesn't respond to HTTP requests or pinging. The domain is 
registered by Godaddy until December, but ownership details just show 
Domains by Proxy. There is a Sourceforge project but it has no files and 
there is an Android port too.

The sources for Windows, IOS and Linux can be found at 
http://rxtx.sourcearchive.com/

RXTX may be a Java class library, but there is evidently a healthy amount 
of native code needed to interface the RxTx package to the underlying OS, 
primarily because serial i/o is anything but standardised outside the 
POSIX world.

I think your best bet may be to grab the source tarball from 
rxtx.sourcearchive.com, see what documentation there is in the tarball  
and then feed the Java source through javadocs. 

It is possibly a bad sign that I couldn't find either a build.xml (for 
Ant) or a Makefile (for the C sources) in the published file list. I have 
no idea what, if any, C documentation tool, should be used: you might 
like to try Cdoc since I wrote it to do sensible things if you point it 
at vanilla C.

Good luck.
