Subject: Java Media Framework(I am new to java)
Posted By: amirdiwan4eva Post Date: 7/2/2006 4:44:28 AM
I want to develop a media player and capture video using a webcam and
then play it using Java. For that purpose, i downloaded java media framwework and i am trying to import the library:

import java.media.*;

The library is not getting imported and my friend told me to "Install
it in the directory if java runtime". Which directory is the java runtime???? where do i install the JMF???

Can anyone please help me make a player on java and working on JMF??

Your Java runtime is located in something like c:\j2sdk1.4.2_08 or c:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_10.  But I would recommend against installing JMF right on top of your Java installation.  Instead, install it in its own folder, and then add its /lib/ directory to your classpath.  You do this by modifying the CLASSPATH environment variable in your system settings.  Seperate the /lib/'s path with the other paths listed using a semicolon.

I installed the JMF in c:\Program Files\java\jre1.5.0_06 but the package

import java.media.*;

is not getting included in the program.There is 'bin' and 'lib' directory in the
jre.Should i install it there or is there any other place?Got no idea?
Plz somebody help me get that file imported?

As for the other thing JON u told about modifying CLASSPATH env. variable , i
could understand that. Please specify that in detail in stepwise instructions.

Thanks for the help Jon.

If u use a IDE like JBuilder u can do this in the project settings . I guess that would be a quickest way. People are welcome with suggestions on this one . I haven't tried this for the media library but i have included other libraries using JBuilder.

There's lots of online documentation for setting your CLASSPATH in different environments.  For simple command-line, do a Google search for "java classpath".  If you're using Eclipse, go into your Project Properties (right-click on your project, click Properties) and go into Java Build Path > Libraries.  For other IDEs, do a help search inside the program.
