to solve the problems when first using Java Media Frameworks, JMF 2.11e,
configure environmental variables for:
JAVA_HOME=
JMF_HONE=
also you need a policy file from policy tool and then
add -Djava.security.policy=mypolicy.policy
for additional librarires
add -Djava.library.path=
also install a 32-bit verison of jdk and jre I use 8 personally.
in Netbeans, if you are using it, select JDK 8 and it should work.
then try to compile JMStudio and if it will boot even with errors,
it should enable preferences, detect capture devices and the camera light
will do its blinking, then it comes up and you can go to file|capture at that
point and it will record you and let you see yourself via a visual component on the screen.
Best way to learn JMF is to reverse engineer JMStudio and architect/engineer your
own solution!
Enjoy.
