Solution 2

The USB Device is connected to your computer - and therefor referenced by the operting system.

SO there is not really a need to detect the device - you can simply check for USB devices and request who they are.

Java and USB @ Java.net[^]

Read the linked article and then follow the suggested libraries. The JavaUSB for example looks very good.
With that you can easily access USB, ask the device what it is and process all there is to do.
