com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.* classes missing from bin plugs and open sources

[Dan Munckton]

Hi

I've discovered (because an app I'm maintaining seems to be using
JPEGCodec and JPEGImageEncoder) that the classes under
com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.* are missing from the OpenJDK 6 & 7 builds.

They're not in the sources nor in the binary plugs. Googling I find that
stubs have been implemented in the IcedTea sources.

Can anyone explain what the situation is with these classes? Should they
be in the bin plugs or are they on the way out completely?

Cheers

Dan
