When it was released the latest version of JMF? Is it useful to study about the JMF? Please suggest me.. But there is very small amount of source only there? Why? Suggest me..

Fine.. But after that (2004), there is no updates and no sources for JMF.. What's the reason? Is there any concepts introduced instead of JMF?

There are several [alternatives](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Media_Framework#Alternatives) listed. Apparently Sun isn't interested in developing this library or keeping it up-to-date.

A:
The last version was released 2003, there has been an addon in 2004 as far as I know (MP3 support). But then, there haven't been changes anymore. Eventually JMF will be superseded by the JMC (Java Media Components), which is currently in development for JavaFX, but has less features right now than the JMF (i.e. streaming is missing). There are open source works that enrich the current JMF (1,2) or provide an own API (3).
