I keep getting conflicting information as to whether Quicktime for
Java is alive or dead. I want to use Quicktime in a Java 1.4
application I'm working on, but don't want to waste my time if the
APIs are on the way out. I can't seem to find a document on Apple's
site that tells me one way or the other. Can anyone confirm?
It's alive, but not as we know it. Apple suddenly broke everything by
removing a load of APIs and providing a new set to replace them. This
was of no consolation to me when I woke up one morning and found that
my QuickTime applications no longer worked (they still don't work - I
never found out how to replace the removed APIs). The sample code is
almost entirely for the old API - practically every sample is marked
as deprecated, and the documentation is hard to find. While you can
write for QuickTime for Java and what's available seems to work OK,
I'd be nervous about it suddenly breaking again.
