Scanner Access from Java

[Johannes Hermen]

As there are a lot of Java/Imageing/OpenSource developers here,

Has anyone tried to access a Scanner (these normal Flat-bed Consumer ones
via Twain) from Java?
Are there any free available libs/APIs? How is the Compatibility with
WinXP/Vista/Win7/OS-X?

greets

Yes, this works very well, (works also under linux via the sane library
instead of twain):
http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/plugins/twain-scan.html

This also works fine (under Win and Mac OSX) but you will need a license for
the morena driver (there are free educational licenses):

I have not tried this one (apparently Win only):
http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/plugins/jtwain.html

just tested this with linux and it works fine, will do some more tests on
different win versions lateron.

The other tools are not usable for us as we will include and distribute it
with an open source-software that we provide.
