Sun Microsystems Inc has added three new Java application programming interfaces for developers: Java Sound, Java Advanced Imaging, and Java Input Method. The Java Sound application programming interface sits on top of the Java Sound engine licensed from the California-based Headspace Inc and provides access to the engine for control of sound synthesis, mixing and recording. The Advanced Imaging interface enables high resolution images: they both come under the Java Media and Communication application programming interface suite. The Java Input Method is a fancy title for an application programming interface that provides a framework for Asian languages including Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
