hi,

JSane is not quite stable yet, and has a fair bit of functionality missing. 
I've only written what I needed so far.

The other option is to use JAPI which is included with the backend source 
code.

That uses the Native Methods of Java JNI, which means either you or the users 
will have to compile for each platform.
