JSR for accessing imaging devices (TWAIN, SANE, VFW, V4L)

It's time to support standard imaging APIs like TWAIN. After a long time you can use output devices like printers (javax.print) on different systems... but the input for image data (without jni) is not supported.

standard apis like twain, sane and wia are available and should supported and used by java.

the JMF still has support for some properitary video devices. imaging devices like scanners are not supported yet (neither in image i/o nor in jai).

the standard hint/workaround "use jni" is not helpful...
