Re: [OpenJDK 2D-Dev] com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGImageEncoder with OpenJDK

Hi,

(CC'ing distro-pkg-dev as this looks like an IcedTea6 issue)

can anyone tell me the status of com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGImageEncoder

I will echo the thoughts of others: this is a legacy API. You should not 
be using it when developing new applications. For existing projects 
though, you may not have much choice.

We tried running OpenJDK6 on Linux and werent able to use
it since one project of ours use
com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGImageEncoder.

it seems that with OpenJDK6 this is an interface where the project expects
it to be a class (or vice versa, dont know anymore).


IcedTea6 (which is what most Linux distributions package as OpenJDK6) 
provides an implementation of com.sun.image.codec.jpeg*. It seems you 
are running into specific bugs with that implementation. There have been 
a number of fixes [1][2] recently to the com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.* 
classes in IcedTea6. I would suggest that you build a recent version of 
IcedTea6 from source (see [3] for details and please use the the 
'bleeding-edge' version from http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6), 
and run the program with that. If you are still running into issues, you 
might want to file specific bugs against IcedTea6 in the icedtea 
bugzilla [4].

Thanks,
Omair
