I do often feel thankful when I start learning something and find references to older ways. The challenge is to find the page that says, "Don't use X anymore. Y is much better," before finding the page explaining X to you. For images, that would be the MediaSomethingOrOther method, I think. Thanks for the pointer to your project -- looks like you had the same idea. I'd probably be able to cannibalize some of your code, but I don't see any kind of license information with it. Would you consider releasing it under GPL v3? Hi, Sumit. I do often feel thankful when I start learning something and find references to older ways.

Back when I first started loading JPEGs with the old awt image loaders, they were horribly slow. It could take 10 to 15 seconds to load an average quality JPEG. BufferedImages help too and they're really not too complicated. I've got examples in my Isszy application at <a href="http://penguindreams.org/page/see/Isszy" rel="nofollow">http://penguindreams.org/page/see/Isszy</a> I apologize if the code looks horrid. It was an early project. :) Be thankful for the javax imageio libraries. Back when I first started loading JPEGs with the old awt image loaders, they were horribly slow.
