Julien Gouesse commented on IMAGING-128:
----------------------------------------
I find the use of close() and flush() inconsistent in commons-imaging. It's not
called when writing TIFF and ICNS images but it is called when writing GIF
images (see GifImageParser.writeImage()).
> TIFF Image Writer is not flushing output

>
> The writeImage() method in the TiffImageWriterBase class takes an
> java.io.OutputStream argument as the destination for its output. It does not
> explicitly call flush() on the output stream when it is finished writing
> data. If the calling application allows the output stream to go out of
> scope, rather than explicitly calling close(), any pending output will be
> lost and the output image file will be left in a broken state. Although,
> ideally, applications SHOULD explicitly call close() on an i/o file, we
> should probably add a call to flush to the writeImage method to provide some
> robustness.
> This behavior was observed in Java 7.
