When the last version of Java Media Framework was released?

When it was released the latest version of JMF? Is it useful to study about the J开发者_JS百科MF? Please suggest me.. But there is very small amount of source only there? Why? Suggest me..

The last version was released 2003, there has been an addon in 2004 as far as I know (MP3 support). But then, there haven't been changes anymore. Eventually JMF will be superseded by the JMC (Java Media Components), which is currently in development for JavaFX, but has less features right now than the JMF (i.e. streaming is missing). There are open source works that enrich the current JMF (1,2) or provide an own API (3).

According to Wikipedia version 2.1.1e was released almost 7 years ago, May 23, 2003.
