Multimedia playing in Java

I need to play multimedia files in Java. I have studied JMF and FMJ, however, both of them have not been updated over several years.

Is there any open-source Java project for multimedia playing?

Thanks.

  • I've been using VLCJ (http://code.google.com/p/vlcj/) and made some good experience with it. It embeds a native VLC player into a AWT/Swing application. Since VLC supports many many codecs, I think it's quite a good choice. Unfortunately, you need to have VLC installed.
