Running paper scanner software with java

Question

I was wondering if there is any way to bring up a scanners software using java. Basically I want to be able to have a user click on a "scan in document" button and then whatever scanner is installed on the users PC will come up asking for scan options and etc.

Answer 1

You could have a look at this question What libraries do I need to use a paper scanner in java?

But basically, depending on the platform you're aiming for you could try

JTwain and/or JSane

or try Morena

I've used Morena in the past and found it very easy to use, but I'm waiting for there WIA implementation to be completed
