Here is a Java program that uses ImageJ as a library to display a  
TIFF file:

     import ij.*;
     import java.awt.*;
     public class Test {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
             ImagePlus imp = IJ.openImage(args[0]);
             imp.show();
         }
     }

It also opens and displays any other format supported by ImageJ,  
including JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, PGM, DICOM and FITS.

I compiled and ran it using

     javac -cp ij.jar Test.java
     java -cp ij.jar:. Test blobs.tif

which assumes ij.jar and blobs.tif are in the current directory.

To get an AWT image use

     ImagePlus imp = IJ.openImage(args[0]);
     Image img = imp.getImage();

Note that ImageJ only opens uncompressed TIFFs or LZW compressed TIFFs.
