Hi,

I've been looking to do something similar for a long time.
My current 'state of project' is: Canon cameras can be remotely
triggered (and even controlled) from linux using the capture
project:
   http://capture.sourceforge.net/

The main advantage over gphoto is that you can also control
the shutter and lenses to not open and close on every shot,
thereby increasing the camera live.

The library can be called from Java using the Java Native
Interfaces, so writing a linux ImageJ plugin shouldn't be
too hard. However as a non-native java solution I don't
know how well it is supported on Windows, it might work with
cygwin but it might as well not :-)

Cheers,
  Mario
