FMJ: new open-source alternative to/implementation of JMF

[Ken Larson]

I'm pleased to announce the creation of a new open-source project, FMJ 
("Freedom for Media in Java"), with the goal of providing a replacement 
for/alternative to JMF.

We are currently working on implementing the part of JMF that is 
documented in the public JavaDoc API; the next step will be building a 
player and integrating with codecs provided by other projects, such as 
jffmpeg.

I'm hoping that this project will be able to be used in GNU classpath as 
well.  I've chosen the GPL-compatible modified BSD license, which should 
allow this and pretty much anything else.

For more information, visit http://fmj.sourceforge.net/

Cheers,
