Where to find libraries?

[ssecorp]

Im new to Java and google doesnt give a "final answer."

Which is the best site for browsing Java libraries?


I am specifically looking for a library to open,edit and check
pixelcolors of images.

One for videos would be good too.

your own computer. Download and install the documentation.
Then use a program like Copernic to index and search it for you.

Depends on for what purpose.

I believe you need to look at JAI and JMF.

Considering what you chose not to quote:

Then I find it difficult to see any relevance for the
question.

If you're talking about the standard libraries, then:

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/overview-summary.html

If you mean third-party libraries, then i'm afraid there isn't a good
answer. There's no java equivalent of CPAN etc.

javax.imageio will read and write images, and you can get at the pixel
values, and do other basic manipulations using java.awt.image. There is a
Java Advanced Imaging library, which does even more, but it's a pain in
the arse.

Pass. JMF, maybe, but ISTR that this makes playing video easy but getting
at the video data quite hard.
