As a junior Java programmer, I’m currently working on a JavaFX Maven desktop application. One of the requirements for this project is to integrate Windows Hello fingerprint scanner for user authentication.

However, I’ve encountered a hurdle as it seems there’s no straightforward way to directly utilize the fingerprint scanner within Java.

In my pursuit for a solution, I came across an insightful Stack Overflow post (/a/48791140/20838137) which suggests leveraging Intel RealSense and creating a native wrapper library to bridge the gap.

I find this approach promising, yet I’m seeking additional guidance or insights from those who might have tackled similar challenges before. Any advice or pointers on how to proceed would be immensely appreciated.
