Well, obsolete or not, it works, is available, platform neutral,
easy to install and provides support for a wide range of graphics
formats, some of them rather obscure. Do you know of a JAI
implementation, preferably OSS and/or freely available, which
supports all common subformats of TIFF, PNG, BMP and perhaps a
few more?
A quick sweep through sourceforge revealed only a TIFF
implementation.
The Sun JAI implementation offers all the formats, but
installation requires more than just dropping a jar into
the classpath, and it contains platform specific binaries
(good for speed but screws Mac users and others).
