Are there any good Java Image libraries?
[*] Yes. Try the Java Image Management Interface (JIMI), which offers a free trial period. JIMI is a toolkit that lets your Java programs read and write many graphics file formats (PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF etc). JIMI is written in 100% Java, and best of all, it’s a breeze to get started with.
