Is there an opensource java library to interface to an image scanner ?

Question

Hello all,

I would like to make a tool to capture images from an scanner, is there an opensource java library to control / interface with a scanner? (I found JTwain but is about EUR 3000)

Thanks!

Answer 2

I used mms-computing. Site is down at the moment but it's open source so you can still find the libraries on the net eg: http://code.google.com/p/openbizcard/source/browse/trunk/integrated/Scanner/src/com/yov/lib/?r=103

It supports both TWAIN and SANE and works pretty well.
