An internal API doesn't mean you can't use it with JDK8, only that it is not part of the default API (which is more or less the same as with Apple's JDK6). However wouldn't it better to wait for an early JDK8 fetaure update, instead of breaking the Image interface with an un-sound design forever? - Clemens
