FWIW, I've considered making an adaptor for use with imageio anyway. I already have code that will generate the metadata. Actually, I'm not sure we want to to duplicate Sun exactly--I filed a bug regarding their PNG metadata spec last year, see: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4518989.html There are also some display bugs in their PNG implementation regarding transparency and/or alpha channels. I might be able to help on the javax.imageio implementation. -Chris _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
