3 Notes
- All the binary builds are available on https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html
- The jar files are required.
- The dll/so files are optional.
- The dll/so files provide acceleration for certain image types.
- The dll/so files may also provide support for additional image types.
- You can force the ImageIO Tools not to use the native libraries by starting a program with this switch:
- -Dcom.sun.media.imageio.disableCodecLib=true
