Camera capture from Java

Hi everyone,
I need to write an application in java to capture a video stream from a hires camera connected to a capture card (Hauppauge HVR1300). The capture works fine (with the cx88xx modules). As a first step, i wanted to display the video stream in a JFrame. I tried JMF, but all my attempts have failed so far with some obscure chain of exception. I just wanted to know if anyone here had experience with another API for video capture in java ?
Thanks

"Obscure chain of exception"...meaning the program fails at a specific point with a slew of exceptions that have yet to be handled through "catch" blocks?
