Are there any JAVA programs (open source or otherwise) that can be used with a webcam and OS/2-eCS?

The java media framework allows you to scan for and use any video device it can find, even webcams.

JMF should be part of any java2 toolkit, maybe even os/2.

You can find more information on jmf and webcams at this site java.sun.com/dev/evangcentral/totallytech/jmf.html

There should be some sample code available as well.

Not really what you are after but the sample code may contain a basic program to try.

Obviously you need the scanning part of the program first. If java cannot find the webcam then it is no use to continue.

Again I don't know if any of this works under os/2.

Thanks for the information and the links. I will check the site out.

I have been told to try a search at http://www.sourcefoge.net to see if there are any programs there (using 'webcam' and 'java' as search words). I have found a couple of programs so far and will check them out.
