Java ImageIO IIOException: Unsupported image type?

Question

Working with images in Java for the first time and am getting some bizarro exceptions that aren\'t documented very well. Here\'s the line of code that is failing:

Answer 1

To work with images in a specific format,you need to add the corresponding dependency, such as imageio-jpeg or imageio-tiff:

com.twelvemonkeys.imageio
imageio-jpeg
3.3.2



com.twelvemonkeys.imageio
imageio-bmp
3.3.2



com.twelvemonkeys.imageio
imageio-core
3.3.2

the built-in ImageIO Java API loads the plugins automatically at runtime.
