You are talking about geojp2 right?

We have worked a lot in the past with the JPEG2000 support in Imageio
and we found that for large imagey it was not suitable. Therefore we
decided to use kakadu.
Notice that Imageio include JJ2000 (pure java) as well as a wrapper
around Japser (c code).

The module is not finished yet, it still needs some work to be
completed as well as some extensive testing. You interested in helping
out?

Beside we could make the code configurabel so that we can use also the
pure java JJ2000 implementation, even though that is going be
inefficient on large raster data (if my memory serves me right, it
does implement the ability to use decomposition levels)
