A:
If you are looking for a very extensible option or have a specific problem domain you could consider rolling your own using the Java Object Oriented Neural Engine.
I used it successfully in a personal project to identify the letter from an image such as this, you can find all the source for the OCR component of my application on github, here.

Ah I thought that might be the case. I remember looking at several existing more 'complete' solutions as well (I can't remember which ones), but I wasn't very impressed with the offerings. I hope you have more success!

Don't know how good it is (it definitely needs to be trained first), but there is Ron Cemer's Java OCR library.
