Java Advanced Imaging and Java Advanced Imaging Image I/O Tools Source Code Now Available!

The Java Advanced Imaging API provides a set of object-oriented interfaces that support a simple, high-level programming model which lets you manipulate images easily. The Java Advanced Imaging API goes beyond the functionality of traditional imaging APIs to provide a high-performance, platform-independent, network-centric and extensible image processing framework.

JAI Image I/O Tools provides reader, writer, and stream plug-ins for the Java Image I/O Framework and Image I/O-based read and write operations for Java Advanced Imaging. Reader-writer plug-ins are supplied for the BMP, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, PNM, Raw, TIFF, and BMP image formats; a writer plug-in is supplied for the GIF image format (a GIF reader plug-in is supplied de facto by J2SE). The supplied streams and associated service providers use the New I/O APIs.

These two project sets complement the existing Java 3D projects that already exist in the media projects. My hearty congratulations to the media development team on making these projects available to the JavaDesktop Community.

• I'm a big fan of JAI. Having access to the source is a big plus. Is JAI still under active development or does this news indicate that development will no longer be funded privately?
