Loading an image in Java without AWT

I am on an embedded platform without access to AWT. I was wondering if anyone knew of a standalone library to load images withou开发者_开发技巧t any AWT involvement.

Thanks, Braden McDorman

Perhaps AWT headless mode can help?

I took the semi-easy way out and created a tool to convert images to RGB565 raw files. Then I have a custom loader.

Have a look at JIMI.

Easy to work with, bought by Sun, superceeded by JAI which is not as easy to work with.

Not a standalone library and not sure what your platform offers, but you can try the javax.imageio.ImageIO (Java SE 1.4 and later).
Just use one of the read methods to get a BufferedImage.
