No resized gif does appear in MMBase with JAI. The strange thing is that I
can't find this information in the MMBase docmentation. I found the reason
on the site of Sun. There is a world wide patent of Unisys on LZW writing of
gif's that expires in July this year. Therefore there is only a gif decoder
in JAI, but not a gif encoder. So, at the moment you can read but not write
gif's with JAI.

Using png instead of gif is at the moment a temporary solution, so why not
convert gif internally to png with JAI? Otherwise we have to wait until the
end of this year when the patent expires and there is a new JAI library.
