Call java/jmf from javafx

Question

I have a jmf application written in java that captures video from a mini-camcorder through a firewire cable and saves it to disk. I currently use a swing gui. I wanted to creat a gui in javafx and call the java program from within javafx. Even with jmf.jar in my path the CaptureDeviceInfo object returns null. Does anyone have an idea how I can get javafx to work my java/jmf program? Thanks.

Answer 1

The code below works with jmf library:
import javafx.stage.*;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.text.*;
import javafx.scene.transform.*;
import javafx.ext.swing.*;
import javax.media.Manager;
public class JavaComponent extends SwingComponent{
    var comp: java.awt.Component;
    public override function createJComponent():javax.swing.JComponent{
        var panel = new javax.swing.JPanel();
        panel.add(comp);
        return panel;
public class MyMedia extends CustomNode {
    var xpos: Number;
    var ypos: Number;
    var dx: Number;
    var url: java.net.URL;
    var autoPlay: Boolean;
    public override function create(): Node{
        Manager.setHint(Manager.LIGHTWEIGHT_RENDERER, true);
        var player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(url);
        if (autoPlay) {
            player.start();
        return Group{
            content: [
                JavaComponent {
                    comp: player.getVisualComponent()
                JavaComponent {
                    comp: player.getControlPanelComponent()
            transforms: Transform.translate(xpos, ypos)
public function run(args: String[]){
    Stage {
        title: "Media Example"
        width: 250
        height: 250
        onClose: function(){ java.lang.System.exit(0);}
        scene: Scene {
            content: MyMedia{
                url: (
                    new java.io.File('video/test.mov')).toURI().toURL()
                autoPlay: true
}
