   Description     : Apache Commons Imaging - Pure-Java Image Library

Apache Commons Imaging is a library that reads and writes a variety of 
image formats, including fast parsing of image information (size, color 
space, ICC profile, etc.) and metadata.
This library is pure Java. Compared to typical image I/O libraries in 
native code, it is more portable, and should be more reliable and more 
secure against corrupt/malicious images, yet still performs reasonably 
well. It is easier to use than ImageIO/JAI/java.awt.Toolkit (Sun/Java's 
image support), supports more formats (and supports them more 
correctly). It also provides easy access to metadata.



Dear maintainers,

this library is needed for a complete build of libitext5-java that 
also includes itext-extra (cf. https://bugs.debian.org/983715).

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Thomas Uhle
