It's a known issue.... Jmf can't detect 2 webcams.
I've recently been messing around with FMJ, a DirectShow wrapper for Java.... and it does detect two identical webcams off the same usb hub.
Although I haven't got any further than iterating over the device list and their supported formats yet.
However, JMF only detected up to 640x480 resolution, and FMJ detected 800x600.So, I'll be experimenting a bit more with FMJ soon.

As said, it's a known issue regarding vfw on windows.I've read somewhere that this does not occur on linux.Never had the occasion to try it though but as it uses a different driver, it does make sense.
