It was a mistake to tie ImageIO to GUI framework image classes. The image raster should be returned in a generic wrapper around a byte array or ByteBuffer from the various codecs. 
The UI layer should bridge it from there. A WriteableRaster or BufferImage just needs to wrap those bytes with the dimensions and pixel format details.
But I bet it isn’t that far off and wouldn’t be that much work. It’s a question of priorities though. 

I still think the AWT ties need to be cut.

I want native tray support, dock icon overlays/badges & progress feedback. Webcam support would be nice too, for video chat apps, security camera UIs, image recognition, barcode scanning, etc.
