I suppose this will solve your problem : How to use JVLC (Java bindings for VLC)?

The link given on the above post is DEAD. Did you mean http://code.google.com/p/vlcj/ . – Favonius Dec 31 '10 at 11:07

What you are looking for is JMF (Java Media Framework).

You can find some tutorials on how to use it in the SO question below.

Note that JMF has been sadly neglected by Sun. It may be hard to find the appropriate codecs. – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Dec 31 '10 at 10:38
Agree with above comment. Two days I was trying a simple .mov file and it failed miserably. Although FMJ looks good as of now. – Favonius Dec 31 '10 at 11:01
This would be a nice concise answer, except that it is apparently sadly out of date. – icedwater Jan 11 '16 at 03:28

vlcj is a very nice library for playing video in Java Swing, but it needs to have VLC installed on user's computer first:
