Here is my old bug report (they basically said they weren't shipping the

https://jai-imageio-core.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=162

I also tried contacting some of the jj2000 authors a year ago, and they
basically said that as reference software for ISO, "the code becomes
pretty flexible to use", but didn't know about open source interoperability.
