Welcome to the Java Movie Database


What is JMDB?


Java Movie Database is a Java based application for searching and getting information about movies, actors and all that has to do with these. It's planned that JMDB will be an open source project in future, that means that the source code will then be available.

The difference is that JMDB is an alternative form of navigating through this information, is able to run on a stand-alone PC just as in a network environment.
Another advantage is that you can write your own programs to use the same locally installed database you have after running the JMDB database converter.
