To launch a java application at startup in linux you can specify the command for starting the application in /etc/rc.local file. If you do not have the /etc or the rc.local file already you can create one before and then paste your command into it. An intro to what is rc.local and the detailed procedure is given here. This is the technique I use to start java applications on startup, although some people call it a hack, it's a good trick nevertheless !!!
Hey man,
your project sounds really interesting would you mind letting me see it when your done? Currently I am very interested in manipulating web cams and peripheral devices, though I have yet to actually do so!
Eventually I want to desk my own facial recognition system for my front door :P
