The JMF in Conjunction with Other APIs
The JMF is a powerful API, supporting a high-level and uniform approach to controlling, playing, and processing time-based media.

The implication of this is that the JMF approach to time-based media can be combined with other features of Java; either from the core platform, or one or more of the other specialist APIs that extend the functionality of Java. This leads to programs that can combine time-based media with other media (for example, 3D graphics) in either traditional multimedia paradigms, or in new and innovative approaches that are only possible because of the common platform-independent glue that is Java.
