[Geoserver-devel] Getting rid of JAI

JAI has been a problem - (1) its been difficult for people to install
and (2) its extreamly buggy.

I've removed all the image writing dependencies on JAI. There's
specialized GIF and PNG writer, and I'm using the built-into-java JPEG
writer (if you have JAI you'll get the JAI one).

I think this leaves some previously mentioned problems with CRS stuff
using JAI and perhaps the WCS branch requires it.

ps.

com.sun.media.imageioimpl.plugins.jpeg.CLibJPEGImageWriter -- JAI one
com.sun.imageio.plugins.jpeg.JPEGImageWriter -- built into Java

Thanks - that is super. I have had a lot of trouble running
geoserver on OpenBSD because of this.

JAI did recently become less source encumbered and versions for OpenBSD
are now emerging so this is no longer such an issue. But it is nice to
see geoserver become more portable and more free.

Also JDK 1.5 is now avail for OpenBSD so basically I think that is now a
reasonable and secure platform for serving maps.

I'm pretty sure someone was successful getting geoserver running with
openbsd already. Though maybe they weren't doing the rendering wms stuff
that requires jai.
