AWT/Swing does have built-in support for displaying GIF and JPEG. See
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/painting/loadingImages.html.
The 1.3 JDK introduced somewhat buggy support for PNG decoding, and the 1.4
JDK introduces PNG encoding, and a whole new Image I/O framework (see
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/imageio/spec/imageio_guideTOC.fm.html),
which should significantly improve image handling.
