Synopsis: The Non-standard com.sun.image.codec.jpeg Package is Retired

Description: The com.sun.image.codec.jpeg package was added in JDK 1.2
(Dec 1998) as a non-standard way of controlling the loading and saving
of JPEG format image files. This package was never part of the platform
specification and it has been removed from the Java SE 7 release. The
Java Image I/O API was added to the JDK 1.4 release as a standard API
and eliminated the need for the com.sun.image.codec.jpeg package.

Depending on what is done, code could be modified (I have not checked)
to use Java Image, but I think this would impact quite a few the code,
and, in any case, difficult to keep it in sync with upstream (or is
upstream dead?)
