Re: [JAVA2D] JDK6 and com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGCodec compile failure

[Phil Race]

Philip,

Absolutely, You really shouldn't use com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGCodec.

Code that uses this can't expect to run on all compatible Java
implementations. Image I/O has been around since 1.4 and is
the standard supported solution.

FYI this is quite timely as we are soon to propose at the very least the
complete hiding of this API to new development in JDK 7.
I will send out more email on this sometime soon.

Hi Philip,

While I understand one should not use this class, a lot of projects still do.

You really shouldn't! ;-)

Under JDK6, the following is actually resulting in a compile failure.
 com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGCodec is Sun proprietary API and may be removed 
in a future release

Can anyone steer me towards the proper way to outputting a jpeg image if we 
can't use the com.sun.* classes?

javax.imageio.ImageIO.write(image, format, stream) is most likely what
you want.

Cheers, Roman
