Access microphone through java plugin for voice chat

Question

How to create a java plugin that can directly access the microphone for specific web application in java ?.. ..i don't want to use applet & flash........

Answer 1

If you want to use java and this is web application (UI in browser) - than you have to use applet. I don't know other way. And this applet should be signed with certificate. Also user should accept this certificate to let java sound api access client device.

Or you can create java web start application (JNLP) that will be downloaded and running on client PC. But this will not be a web ui.
