Chapter 14. Integrating the Java Media APIs

IN THIS CHAPTER

• Integrated Applications

• JMF-J3D Interactions: Prototype for a Streaming 3D Chat Room

• ROAM: Java-JAI-J3D Image Tiling Example

A benefit of developing software in any one of the Java Media APIs lies in having the other Media APIs available for use. Indeed, the entire Java platform is available for writing an application. Many of the examples we have developed so far have made use of other Java components for user interactions (slider bars, buttons, and the like) as well as file I/O, communications, and networking. None, however, have specifically integrated multiple Media APIs.

This chapter concludes our exploration of the Java Media APIs by giving examples of Media API—Media API interactions.
