Bug#397816: libitext-java: image writing probably broken

[Marcus Better]

Package: libitext-java
Version: 1.4.5-1
Severity: important

The image writing routines using javax.imageio are most likely
broken. This is for two reasons:

1. In PdfGraphics2D.java, the ByteArrayOutputStream passed as argument
   to encoder.setOutput() must most likely be wrapped in a
   MemoryCacheImageOutputStream:

     encoder.setOutput(new MemoryCacheImageOutputStream(baos));

2. JPEG encoding is missing in libgcj, see
     http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29783

(I ran into the same problem in the stylebook package.)
