Let me check to see if I understand this clearly - you want to make a service that pulls information back from the core (instead of supplying information to the core) about what updates are available, etc.?

That should be fairly simple to add in if that's what you mean. I could provide some kind of service interface that allows you to get the information you need. For security reasons, though, it wouldn't be able to actually manipulate the updates at all; it would only be able to know the information about them.

How to link the G15 to the Logitech keyboard I can't help you with -- perhaps something like JNI can do this. Or maybe they have a Java API. I just wouldn't know. Just fill me in on how you plan to communicate between Java and the keyboard because I have to be sure the SecurityManager capabilities are installed as well.
