Where to get image io package?

Question

Where do I get the api for imageIO?

So That i can use functions like

String imagePath = "C:/programs/";
    File inFile = new File(imagePath, "single image.gif");
    BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(inFile);

I plan on exporting this : import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

Answer 1

It's in the JDK. Simply:

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

Answer 2

finnw is correct about the API. However, what do you want to do with the BufferedImage? If you want it on a JLabel or as the icon for JOptionPane.showXXXDialog(), swing offers a good solution - class ImageIcon. Easy construction and use, IMO. Regards, - MS
