My personal instinct would be to avoid java.

It appears the streamer program from the xawtv package has a wecam image 
capture facility.

Here is how I would attmpt to attomate this process;

o Create a wrapper script run by a cron job.

o In the script use stramer to cature the image, image magick to process the 
image, and ftp to upload the image to your webserver.
