Simplest way to take a webcam picture using java

I'm making a program in java. I'd like to be able to take pictures from the client's webcam. I've been looking around, i found some APIs, but i can't really make heads of tails of what I downloaded. Anyone know a really simple way to take pictures in java? Thanks a lot!

It's very simple to do it using Marvin:

MarvinVideoInterface videoAdapter = new MarvinJavaCVAdapter();
videoAdapter.connect(0);
MarvinImage image = videoAdapter.getFrame();
MarvinImageIO.saveImage(image, "./res/webcam_picture.jpg");

Well, I would go with JMF or FMJ, they seem to be the big names in this sort of thing. There is a somewhat-similar question here that contains a few more options, if both of those are a little too "heavy" for you. It might be worth it to give one of them a shot.

EDIT: JMyron might be what you're looking for, according to this answer.
