Using Java Advanced Imaging with Maven

Question

The JAI setup is quite tedious, involving multiple jars and environment variables. It would aid the project\'s portability quite a lot if I could add it as a regular Maven d

Answer 1

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.media.jai</groupId>
    <artifactId>com.springsource.javax.media.jai.core</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.3</version>
</dependency>

and add a repository declaration:

<repository>
    <id>com.springsource.repository.bundles.external</id>
    <name>SpringSource Enterprise Bundle Repository - External Bundle Releases</name>
    <url>http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/external</url>
</repository>

This worked for me. I guess it relies on Spring Jar.

Answer 2

I add this dependencies in my pom file:

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.jai-imageio</groupId>
        <artifactId>jai-imageio-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.4.0</version>
</dependency>

Answer 3

To avoid donwloading the jars and installing them you can add a dependency on the spring repo. So change the normal dependency slightly:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.media.jai</groupId>
        <artifactId>com.springsource.javax.media.jai.core</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.3</version>
    </dependency>

and add a repository declaration:

    <repository>
        <id>com.springsource.repository.bundles.external</id>
        <name>SpringSource Enterprise Bundle Repository - External Bundle Releases</name>
        <url>http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/external</url>
    </repository>

And it should now work (it makes all the sun classes available javax.media.jai.*). See here:

http://ebr.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle/version/detail?name=com.springsource.javax.media.jai.core&version=1.1.3

You can also add the codec dependency if necessary...

http://ebr.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle/version/detail?name=com.springsource.javax.media.jai.codec&version=1.1.3
