GPhoto2 Java Bindings

Java bindings for Linux gphoto/gphoto2 library (see http://www.gphoto.org/ for details).

Example

See the https://github.com/mvysny/gphoto2-java/blob/master/src/main/java/org/gphoto2/Camera.java file for example on usage. Simple usage:

System.out.println("GPhoto version: " + getLibraryVersion());
final CameraList cl = new CameraList();
System.out.println("Cameras: " + cl);
CameraUtils.closeQuietly(cl);
final Camera c = new Camera();
c.initialize();
final CameraFile cf2 = c.captureImage();
cf2.save(new File("captured.jpg").getAbsolutePath());
CameraUtils.closeQuietly(cf2);
CameraUtils.closeQuietly(c);

Note that the https://github.com/twall/jna library is required to be present on the classpath (1.4 and prior versions tested with JNA 3.0.9, 1.5 tested with JNA 4.2.2).
