I must admit that the Java class solution is easier to implement than either Imagemagick or adding a Mac with Tiger.
Especially if it is a remote hosted or colo-ed box. I did notice that the metadata in the example image has at least 1 instance of incorrect metadata: [Iptc] Country/Primary Location - Ubited Kingdom This brings up a good question: Is it possible to add or edit metadata with the Java classes? This is important because the metadata of an image (or other file) often originates in several places, for example: 1) Image taken with a camera supplying metadata 2) image transferred to, say, Photoshop where image is resized, captioned, watermarked, etc. adding or changing metadata 3) Image transferred to some gallery or presentation where additional captioning is added/changed, etc. again adding or changing metadata. If the metadata additions & changes are not made to the image file, itself, it defeats the concept of metadata.
