About

SwingSane is a cross platform, open source Java client (frontend) for Scanner Access Now Easy (SANE) servers (backends). SwingSane provides access to scanners connected to SANE servers on a network on any platform that supports Java and Swing. It can also be used with your own application to provide some Swing code for accessing SANE scanners.

SwingSane was originally developed as a library for FormReturn OMR Software, to provide Linux users with built-in access to scanners. You can see an example of the implemented library if you download the trial and click the scan forms button.

SwingSane was also intended to be an example of one way to use JFreeSane, the core library used by SwingSane.

SwingSane is licensed under Apache 2. If you have the ability, please help contribute to the project by adding your patches, submitting your scanner.xml or just forking the project and making something better.
