Connecting a heart rate monitor to a Windows PC Java application

I am currently working on a Thesis project that requires my java program to track the current heart rate. Now my problem is that I seem to be unable to find any heart rate monitor that can connect to a java program running on a Windows PC. If anyone had any suggestions for any kind of heart rate monitor that could do this, I would be very grateful!

I'm currently experimenting with a Polar H7 Bluetooth Smart Ready heart rate monitor, and I'm trying to connect it to a computer with a Bluetooth 4.0 adapter (Bluetooth smart), but it seems to be leading to a dead end.

Thank you again for any help you can provide.

Have you seen that your java program is listening on the COM port your Bluetooth is on?
