Hi all,


As a newbie to Java, I would like to see if I can use Java to write my client application. Basically, I want to know if Java has an interface to control multimedia. I heard someone saying that there is a new version that will have such an interface - does someone know the state of things? Any good resources to know when this version will be (or is?) ready and some details on this interface?


Thanks,

Alon

I was wandering around at JavaSoft, and come across the JMF,

Java Media Framework. It's an API for media management.

Version 1.0 allows media playback. I just read, the 2.0 version is much more

powerful, and allow captures, file saving, media manipulation, etc.

I think it should meet your needs.
