Yes, I saw that thread. Unfortunately, my problems seem to far broader
than yours were. Perhaps the most troubling of these is #12, "Unhandled
exception type Exception." As a programmer (although admittedly with
relatively little experience with Java, I honestly don't know what to
make of this. It definitely seems as if we should find (or begin
writing) a new JPEG library for ImageJ. Using deprecated APIs just isn't
a realistic way forward. Is there any reason why javax.imageio couldn't
be used throughout ImageJ? Thanks,
