1) from what i read, both JIMI and JAI are graphics libraries, so only
one is necessary. in addition, it *appears* that JAI is the newer

(that is, JAI will eevntually obsolete JIMI, or am i reading that
incorrectly?)
JAI is faster, because it uses native libraries, and has some more
capabilities (which are not of much interest to FOP, at least currently).
JIMI OTOH is more portable because it does *not* use native libraries,
and also a bit easier to install.
Furthermore JIMI currently supports quite a bunch more image formats
than Sun's implementation.
It should be noted that JAI is actually an *interface* spec. You
can download and install as many implementation for all kind of image
formats as you like. I'm not aware of any zero-cost implementation
besides Suns demo impl though.
