Javax.media, installing

Hi, I am trying to use:
import javax.media.jai.PlanarImage;
import javax.media.jai.Histogram;
But I keep getting an error, how do i install them? I am assuming i have to download a new developers pack, and how do I install it under eclipse?
Many thanks, Ron

I have the same problem, can you help to solve it?
I can't make work JMF in my linux box:
I have added these lines to my .bashrc script:
export JMFHOME=/usr/local/lib/JMF-2.1.1e
export CLASSPATH=$JMFHOME/lib/jmf.jar
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JMFHOME/lib
Additionally I have make ln -s /usr/local/lib/JMF-2.1.1/lib/jmf.jar in
my /usr/local/lib/j2re1.4.2_01/lib/ext/ directory.
And
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/jmfdiagnostics.html
always say me:
"JMF Version... 2.1.1e
All Java Build
Native Libraries Not Found"
What are "Native Libraries"?
Can you help me please?

Javax.media.NoPlayerException: Cannot find a Player

Hi all,
I've installed JMF,
and tried the sample 'SimplePlayerApplet.java' from Sun:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/samples/
(see the code below)
However, everytime I run the applet,
I get the message:
"javax.media.NoPlayerException: Cannot find a Player"
Can anybody help?

First and most obvious question is, what are you trying to have the applet view? The NoPlayerException generally means that JMF couldn't figure out how to display what you're telling it to display, be that an unknown codec, or unknown media type.

Javax.media.* not found!!

when i compile the a program, i get an error message "javax.media.*"not found! So, can any one tell me how to import this class to my compiler? i am use netbean 3.6. Thank u

Two- Options
1- This configuration is for Net Beans 3.5.1, I m not sure with 3.6
Go to
Tools > Options
In
Options
-----Building
----------------Compiler Types
----------------------------------External Compilation
In External Compilation select "Expert" Tab, In the class path field enter all the class related to the JMF, or if u r using Windows OS, just enter %CLASSPATH% OR -CLASSPATH.
Do the same in Internal Compilation.
And now in
-------Building
-----------------Debugging And Executing
--------------------------------------------Execution Types
Do the Same as in Compiler Types
2----- 2nd one is only the way if above does not work.
->Uninstall the NetBeans
->Install the JMF first
->Make sure the classpath environment variable is updated with JMF classes
->Now Reinstall this NetBeans
But I hope 1st will work.
I also have faced that problem, and recovered it by both of above ways

Import javax.media.* is not working

Hi,
I'm new to java and i was trying to create a media player using the javax.media package from the JMF. I installed it using the windows setup and it seemed to install correctly. Testing it with the java.sun.com applet tester worked. The media player is also working...
The only problem is that when i import javax.medis.* it gives me a compiler error:
package javax.media does not exist
my code is as follows:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.media.*;
public class PlayerApplet extends Applet {
     Player player = null;
public void init() {
     setLayout( new BorderLayout() );
     String mediaFile = getParameter( "FILE" );
     try{
          URL mediaURL = new URL( getDocumentBase(), mediaFile );
          player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer( mediaURL );
          if (player.getVisualComponent() != null)
          add("Center", player.getVisualComponent());
          if (player.getControlPanelComponent() != null)
          add("South", player.getControlPanelComponent());
     catch (Exception e){
          System.err.println( "Got exception " + e );
public void start() {
     player.start();
public void stop() {
     player.stop();
     player.deallocate();
public void destroy() {
     player.close();
} Could someone please help me out here... i've tried all the few probable solutions... but to no avail...

Well changing the classpath to the correct one still didn't work.... but i still found the solution.
The Developer Environment that i use is JCreator and it seems it ignores the classpath and has its own settings for the class path... changing this also didn't work.
What worked was copying the Jar files from the JMF2.1.1e installed location into the path of the original classpath

Javax.media.jai in applets

I would like to use some features of javax.media.jai in developing some applets, but from what I read I get the impression that most average users' JRE would not have this installed. Is this correct?

Sidereal wrote:
1. Would this greatly increase load time?That depends on the size of the Jar's, and the speed of the server and client connections (or whatever connection between them is the slowest).
If you deploy the applet in a 1.6.0_10+ JRE, it can be deployed using web start (while still embedded in the web page). Deploying using web start can offer a number of advantages, such as..
- Better control of class caching, and even 'lazy' deployment of classes and resources. This latter ability ensures the applet appears on-screen quickly, while downloading other components as needed.
- Sand-boxed access to the local file-system.
- The ability to offer different security levels for different application components. (E.G. the JAI Jar's might already be digitally signed with a valid certificate, simplifying matters.)

Import javax.media?

i have been trying to play a video from a application and i get a bunch of compile errors one is "package javax.media does not exist" because of this im getting 14 other errors, can anyone help me? i just downloaded and installed Java SDK 1.4.2 and i have jdk1.5.0_05 and jre1.5.0_05. so i should be up to date

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/media/jai/

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/media/jai/
After I got this exception, I tried the following solution:
I downloaded the Windows package for JAI from this link:
https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html
Then I went to the Projects window > Libraries (Netbeans IDE) and browsed to the two jar files in that download. The two jar files are now showing under the Libraries node and, accordingly, they are listed in my Classpath as this:
..\..\..\Desktop\jai-imageio-1_2-pre-dr-b04-lib-windows-i586-07_Apr_2009\lib\ext\jai_imageio.jar
..\..\..\Desktop\jai-imageio-1_2-pre-dr-b04-lib-windows-i586-07_Apr_2009\lib\ext\clibwrapper_jiio.jar
There also a couple of DLL files which I wasn't sure how to add.
So why am I still getting this error? Maybe it's the wrong version of JAI?

This research made me VERY late for work and I've been swamped all day. Didn't have a chance to post my solution earlier.
"It appears that you have downloaded wrong package... try downloading and installing the stable release " jai_imageio-1_1-lib-windows-i586-jdk.exe ".
I didn't know how to install that one. I tried clicking it and got an error msg. Then I added it as a reference (I browsed to it from the Libraries node) which "seemed" to work (allowed me to run my app using F6) but then it wouldn't produce a deployment package when I seleced Run > Clean and Build. So I went back and downloaded the "Daily Build" which unzips to two jar files
jai_imageio.jar
clibwrapper_jiio.jar
and immedliately Run > Clean and Build produced a deployment package. (All of this is to get PDFbox running in my app). I also needed jai_core.jar which I believe was from this page:
http://code.google.com/p/mapmap/downloads/detail?name=jai_core.jar&can=2&q=
specifically this link:
http://mapmap.googlecode.com/files/jai_core.jar
By the way I am using a "Daily Build" for PDFbox (0.7.4) which came from the "FOP" downloads here:
http://www.jeremias-maerki.ch/download/fop/pdf-images/
but I still needed the older pdfbox 0.7.3 download just to extract the Fontbox.jar from it. I needed a codec from this page as well:
http://www.findjar.com/jar/geoserver/jai/jars/jai_codec-1.1.3-alpha.jar.html
the codec was offered as a one-link download:
http://www.findjar.com/jar/geoserver/jai/jars/jai_codec-1.1.3-alpha.jar.html
The upshot of all this is that I can now work with more types of PDF files than before - but still not all of them. I'm getting another error on some of them (I'll have to reproduce this at home).

Where is the javax.media.j3d

Hi I install Java3d JDK 1.4.2 but i have only one jar file with com.sun... utility java 3d package what I must do to have package javax.media.j3d?And do I can use java 3d to create games?

Hi I install Java3d JDK 1.4.2 but i have only one jar
file with com.sun... utility java 3d package what I
must do to have package javax.media.j3d?For me it was straight forward process of installing the complete J3D. Extract the files to YOUR_JDK_PATH/jre/lib/ext and/or tell java via the CLASSPATH variable to use the jar's.
And do I can use java 3d to create games?Yes...if you put some brain and effort in it. There are several projects in the web, which care about game programming using J3D. Try to google for them.
Hope this helps.

Javax.media.jai not in jmf.jar

Ive download JMF 2.1.1e from
http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/download.html
and installed it. However it does not seem to contain the javax.media.jai or com.sun.media.jai packages as per the documentation :-
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/forDevelopers/jai-apidocs/index.html
I checked the contains of the jmf.tar and and the other jars that came with the download
eg the following can not be found
import javax.media.jai.widget.ScrollingImagePanel;
import javax.media.jai.NullOpImage;
import javax.media.jai.OpImage;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.SeekableStream;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.FileSeekableStream;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.TIFFDecodeParam;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.ImageDecoder;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.ImageCodec;
So have I done something wrong, is this code no long in the jmf.jar, or is the documentation wrong ?

Thanks, that got me the jai_imageio.jar , however this jar does not contain the any of the following packages
import javax.media.jai.widget.ScrollingImagePanel;
import javax.media.jai.NullOpImage;
import javax.media.jai.OpImage;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.SeekableStream;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.FileSeekableStream;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.TIFFDecodeParam;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.ImageDecoder;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.ImageCodec;
are they in another jar that I have not included, or do I need to get them from somewhere else?

Newbye question: what is javax.media.jai ?

Hello,
What is javax.media.jai for, and what has it more than java.awt.image?
I am experiencing difficulties with colormap manipulations in the standard java.awt.image classes, so I'm wondering if javax.media.jai could help.
Its classes are not in the standard documentation javadoc. If I use it in my project, do I have to warn people downloading that package or is it basically installed in the standard download of jse ?
thank you

Package javax.media doesnot exits

Hi,
I have installed JMF,but am still facing the error "package javax.media doesnot exits"
when i tried to import javax.media.*

You need to import JMF's library JAR files

Need javax.media package

Hi.. Everyone
where do i get this javax.media package ? will it not be available with jdk?
Thanks in advance.

Some of it is included with JMF...you have to install JMF specificlly to have access to the javax.media classes that JMF uses...

IE6 causes java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.media.pm.PackageManager

Guys,
I have an applet that simply plays a media file. Quite simple! It has been working fine for ages, but I recently upgraded to IE6, and BLAM! I now get this exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.media.pm.PackageManager
Of course, I have checked my classpath, and my path settings. I know that the classpath is fine, I can run JAVA JMStudio and it launches fine. The application runs OK as standalone. I can even debug the applet using JBuilder, and it works. As soon as I run it from IE6 - Nope.. Not working!
I wonder if anyone else has seen this? If I set the option to use the Sun JVM, the diagnostincs applet shows this:
JMF Diagnostics:
Java 1.1 compliant browser.....Maybe
JMF classes.....Not Found
but, if I set the option off, I get:
JMF Version... 2.1.1a
Win32 Build
Native Libraries Found
What is causing this difference? Is this even relevant? I have seen several other posts talking about a ClassNotFoundException but this is specific to IE6 (I think at least.) I will try and regress to 5.5 and keep you posted!
Steve

OK, Here is the deal..
Uninstall the JRE Plugin. (Delete the directory too)
Uninstall the JMF (Again, delete the dirs)
Remove any references to the JMF on the CLASSPATH
Reboot
Re-install the JRE Plug-in
Re-install the JMF.. Note: Make sure all options are checked when installing.
Reboot as requested .
Browse to: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/jmfdiagnostics.html to test the installation.
Funilly, it all works now. The reason it did not work was due to the classpath being WRONG!!!
It now reads: C:\PROGRA~1\JMF21~1.1\lib\sound.jar;C:\PROGRA~1\JMF21~1.1\lib\jmf.jar;
BUT, I installed the JMF at: C:\Program Files\JMF2.1.1
Call me insane, but I do not have a clue why the paths do not match, but is solved my problem.
I am certain this clears several of the posts found on this Forum!!
Hope this helps you all..

Creating a text with transparent background using javax.media.j3d.Raster

Hi, I'm trying to display a text in Java3D using the Raster but I'm not sure to make the background of the text transparent. Does anyone have any ideas.
Here's my code for creating the Raster image:
private javax.media.j3d.Raster getRaster(String str, boolean rotate) {
// Create an empty raster.
javax.media.j3d.Raster raster = new javax.media.j3d.Raster();
// Get a font metrics.
Font font = new Font("Times", Font.PLAIN, 12);
FontMetrics fm = getFontMetrics(font);
// Calculate the raster size.
int width = SwingUtilities.computeStringWidth(fm, str) + 6;
int height = 18;
// Create an BufferedImage.
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(width,
height,
BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_BGR);
// Draw the input string on the BufferedImage.
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) image.getGraphics();
g2d.setFont(font);
g2d.setColor(Color.WHITE);
g2d.drawString(str, 3, 14);
// Set the BufferedImage to the raster.
raster.setImage(new ImageComponent2D(ImageComponent2D.FORMAT_RGB, image));
raster.setSize(width, height);
raster.setType(javax.media.j3d.Raster.RASTER_COLOR);
raster.setCapability(javax.media.j3d.Raster.ALLOW_IMAGE_WRITE);
raster.setCapability(javax.media.j3d.Raster.ALLOW_SIZE_READ);
return raster;
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
If you create a new transparent imge you can put a color fill layer below the text layer and either turn off the layer visiblity for the color fill layer (eye beside the color fill layer in the layers panel)
or delete the color fill layer before saving the file as a transparent png.

Javax.media, installing
