USB device control: Not just serial

Hello,

I am aware that processing is very good for controlling external hardware devices such as serial devices and arduinos, but I want to be able to control ALL of my USB devices such as my TI-84 when it is plugged into my computer, and my USB rocket launcher. These devices cannot be controlled or viewed in the processing serial library. I am also aware that this can be done in c++ by using some sort of USB development kit. However, this is very complex to me, and it takes a very long time to set up all of the proper drivers and kits. I don't expect full control over these devices, but being able to read and write bytes of data to them would be nice. I don't know if this is at all possible as I am aware that java is limited in these areas. Is there some sort of work-around? If not, what is the easiest way to achieve this, whether in processing or not?
