[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] lcms native library

[christof.helfrich at freenet.de]

Hi,

I am trying to replace the color management system of JRE 1.6.0 by the alternative implementation that has been implemented by the 2D Graphics Group of OpenJDK.
My plan is to patch the JRE.
I will need the packages java.awt.color, sun.java2d.cmm and sun.java2d.cmm.lcms. These packages seem to have no further dependencies, except to the native code for lcms.
I have also found the C sources for lcms in the source tree. But unfortunately I could not find precompiled .so files in the binary release of JRE 7 for Linux-i586 . Can I get these somewhere or do I have to compile the C sources by myself?

My motivation to replace the CMM of JRE 1.6.0 is that the JVM crashes when I try to load JPGs with corrupt color profiles.
