I feel more comfortable in this way since this is my first time contribute to a big project like this. Especially when I don't have a really good understanding for the architecture behind the library. It would be great if you have a copy of original packages, so we can always roll back if we need (Hope we will never need to do this :D ) I am thinking stop coding for a week or two and read through the whole javax.imageio.packages code, and get familiar with all the existing methods and techniques in order to have a good image of the lib. It would be really helpful for me to build robust implementations. > > http://people.apache.org/~hindessm/imageio-japi/ > > Looking at the sun50 and sun60 results shows that there are two new > methods in java6 that are also missing: > > javax.imageio.ImageIO.getReaderFileSuffixes() > javax.imageio.ImageIO.getWriterFileSuffixes() > > It would be good to implement those for the java6 branch too. > Yes, thanks for point out this.
