After a quick test, looks like Modbus4J is better maintained than Jamod, but they look very similar. Can someone list the benefits of using Modbus4j over the Jamod library?

Hello,
I've evaluated Jamod and would like to evaluate and compare Modbus4J. Is there a "Getting Started" page? Some usage examples? I'm looking for a simple TCP/IP master code that runs function '2' to retrieve the value of a single bit from a given ip:port.
In Jamod, this looks something like (and I'm new to it):

private void qTest() throws Exception {

    // Build a connection
    TCPMasterConnection con = new TCPMasterConnection(InetAddress.getByName(slaveIPAddr));
    try {
        con.setPort(slavePort);
        con.connect();  // may throw an exception

        // Prepare a request
        final int bitIndex2read = 3;
        final int numBits2Read = 6;
        ReadInputDiscretesRequest request = new ReadInputDiscretesRequest(/*refRegister=*/0, numBits2Read);

        // Run a transaction (you can run as many as you like until you close the connection)
        ModbusTCPTransaction transaction = new ModbusTCPTransaction(con);
        transaction.setRequest(request);

        try {
            transaction.execute();
        } catch (ModbusSlaveException e) {
            System.out.println("Got a Modbus error response with code "+e.getType());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        // Parse response
        ReadInputDiscretesResponse response = (ReadInputDiscretesResponse)transaction.getResponse();
        boolean isOn = response.getDiscreteStatus(bitIndex2read);
        System.out.println("Digital Input @" + bitIndex2read + " is " + (isOn ? "On." : "Off."));
    } finally {
        //6. Close the connection
        con.close();
    }
}

thanks,
