Should I use JavaCV or OpenCV's java wrapper?

I am going to write a CV program in Java/Swing. I can't decide between JavaCV and OpenCV's official java wrapper. Main

  • Altough OpenCV's Java documentation sometimes lacks, it seems that JavaCV has no documentation at all (except for a few old examples)

  • JavaCV has some own classes, for example CanvasFrame (seems to simplify GUI creation)

  • As OpenCV does not have a complete HighGui module, it seems that I would have to copy entire Mat object to BufferedImage point by point when I want to display it. Does JavaCV do this in the background? Or is the image showing faster when done with JavaCV?
