JavaFX: June 2008 Archives

Sun has posted some slides from a presentation on Java Media Components on the JavaONE website. Unfortunately, the demos weren't included, but the source code in the slides hints at a very simple to use media API.

For example:
class SimplePlayerDemo extends JFrame { MediaPlayerDemo() { JMediaPlayer mp; try { mp = new JMediaPlayer(new URI("movie.mov")); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Error opening media" + e); ... } add(mp); pack(); setVisible(true); mp.play(); } ...
I am SO looking forward to the SDK pre-release.
