Hi,
this is no solution for everyone but if you want to use tiff's or png
(because they have 8 bit alpha values!) you can use the Java Advanced
Imaging Api without the need of using a component.
Here's my code:
RenderedImage src = (RenderedImage) JAI.create("fileload", file);
BufferedImage buffImage = new BufferedImage(src.getWidth(),
src.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D graphics = buffImage.createGraphics();
graphics.drawRenderedImage(src, new java.awt.geom.AffineTransform());
TextureLoader texLoader = new TextureLoader(buffImage,
TextureLoader.GENERATE_MIPMAP);
Texture texture = texLoader.getTexture();
Regards
