Hi, Java Advanced Imaging has been unsupported for a long time, but it's still the best Java based image processing library (at least for large imagery cases, the tiled based, deferred computation approach is something software in other languages is still copying today).
Its complete pluggability also makes it very easy to replace old buggy operations with newer ones, which is something done in open source projects like jai-ext: https://github.com/geosolutions-it/jai-ext However, its license is still a problem, it is not considered proper open source. Ideally all the Java portion would be useful, but in case that is a problem, just getting the interfaces relicenced would be of great help. So, is there anyone we could talk to about JAI relicencing? If more than one person/company needs to be contacted I'm happy to reach out, just need to get some contacts. Best regards Andrea Aime
