Unable to get webcam image on Raspberry Pi (Arch Linux)

Hi,

I am using Raspberry pi (Arch Linux) to get webcam image with webcam-capture (0.3.9) library with Java (1.8.0_06), but my application fails with the following stack trace:

Please help.

Thanks in advance

Any progress with this?
I have a similar problem.

@camilog, this problem is caused by a bug in BridJ. I'm not sure when it will be resolved. For the time you can try to compile v4l4j on RasPi and use driver-v4l4j for Webcam Capture API to use it under the hood. The API remains the same, you just need to set driver before your code is invoked (I usually do this in static block). Example can be found here:

Thanks a lot @sarxos ;)
