1. RELEASE NOTES

JxCapture is a  cross-platform library  that  provides  a  comprehensive  screen
capture API for Java applications. You can capture any graphic  element  on  the
screen, whether an entire window or just a single object on it, and save it as a
java.awt.image.BufferedImage object for further manipulation in Java code.

*The current JxCapture version is available only for the Windows platform. 

To see the functionality of JxCapture  in action  run  the  JxCapture Demo Swing
(http://www.teamdev.com/downloads/demo/jxcapturedemo-swing.jnlp)  or   JxCapture
Demo SAF (http://www.teamdev.com/downloads/demo/jxcapturedemo.jnlp)  application
available in JxCapture package or online.

JxCapture Demo SAF  application is  built using  the Swing Application Framework
(https://appframework.dev.java.net/). The framework is licensed under the  LGPL.

The demos show the JxCapture  ability to  capture screen in many ways, including
full  screen  capture, region capture,  window/object capture  or  active window 
capture.
