This article captures current information about the Java Advanced Imaging ImageIO Tools to document exactly what files are involved.

The ImageIO Tools consist of two jar files plus one or more files which are in native code for the platform. The names in the tables below are the ones that appeared in versions 1.0 and 1.1. As the ImageIO Tools progress, the names of the files may accumulate release identification, as in jai_imageio-1.2-pre-dr-b04.jar.

1 JAR Files

File name	Description	Typical Location
jai_imageio.jar	JAR file containing core JAI Image I/O class files	jre/lib/ext
clibwrapper_jiio.jar	codecLib JNI interfaces	jre/lib/ext

2 Native Libraries

File name	Description	Platform	Typical Location
libclib_jiio.so	mediaLib JNI shared libraries	Linux	jre/i386 or jre/lib/amd64
clib_jiio.dll	codecLib JNI shared libraries	Windows	jre/bin
clib_jiio_sse2.dll	mediaLib JNI DLL libraries	Windows	jre/bin
clib_jiio_util.dll	Utilities	Windows	jre/bin

3 Installation Files

The Oracle site no longer provides links to the ImageIO Tools version 1.1 or later. The files necessary to install the tools on several platforms have been put on the RSNA MIRC site.

3.1 Windows

The Windows installer for the ImageIO Tools is available at: jai_imageio-1_1-lib-windows-i586-jre.exe

A zip file containing the files (not required if using the installer) is available at: http://mirc.rsna.org/ImageIO/win-i686.zip

3.2 Linux

A zip file for installing the ImageIO Tools on an i686 platform is available at: http://mirc.rsna.org/ImageIO/linux-i686.zip

A zip file for installing the ImageIO Tools on an x86_64 platform is available at: http://mirc.rsna.org/ImageIO/linux-x86_64.zip

3.3 Solaris

A zip file for installing the ImageIO Tools on an i686 platform is available at: http://mirc.rsna.org/ImageIO/solaris-i686.zip

A zip file for installing the ImageIO Tools on a SPARC platform is available at: http://mirc.rsna.org/ImageIO/solaris-sparc.zip

A zip file for installing the ImageIO Tools on a SPARC v9 platform is available at: http://mirc.rsna.org/ImageIO/solaris-sparcv9.zip

A zip file for installing the ImageIO Tools on an x86_64 platform is available at: http://mirc.rsna.org/ImageIO/solaris-x86_64.zip

3.4 Macintosh

A zip file containing the two jar files is available at http://mirc.rsna.org/ImageIO/ImageIOJars.zip.

No native libraries are available for the Macintosh. Place the two jar files into:

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk.../lib/ext.

4 Notes

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

Much more information is available at http://download.java.net/media/jai-imageio/builds/release/1.1/INSTALL-jai_imageio.html, although this information seems to be out of date.
