Re: [JAVA2D] Retiring the package com.sun.image.codec.jpeg

[java2d]

I would vote for #1 - get rid of the classes entirely in Java 7.  The warning 
is already out there when compiling in Java 6.. there is no sense in dragging 
it on.

I would also vote for rewriting the JPEG loaders in Image I/O as they are quite 
poor performance-wise (and so is com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGCodec).  I expect 
you could at the very least double the performance.  The last I heard the 
existing codecs did not make use of vector instructions 
(SSE/MMX/Altivec/whatever), whereas any respectable implementation would.  
That's one of the primary reasons vector instructions like MMX were added to 
processors so many years ago.
