How about the imageio stuff from the java-gui-branch[1]? I've successfully rendered PNG images using the java-gui-20050128-branch, so this should be available in gcc4 as well. > Probably the most efficient way to get a GPL-compatible Java PNG > encoder is to package JMagick. Before libgcj got imageio writing support, I also used PndEncoder[2], which is a pure-java encoder (LGPL).
