Nobody talks about removing JAI support. > Will JAI be required by FOP-1.0 for PNG and also be required for some > subformats of TIFF[1]? Yes, except that we can use the ImageIO API from JDK 1.4 and later. But in the end ImageIO also uses JAI codecs to support the different formats. We could also have another look at open source codecs to support PNG and TIFF etc. Jeremias Maerki
