what library I need so I can access this com.sun.image.codec.jpeg in Java?

Question

I'm creating an image watermarking program in java and I imported the followings:

import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGCodec;
import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGEncodeParam;
import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGImageEncoder;

but I get an error that says:

Access restriction: The type JPEGCodec is not accesible due to restriction on required library C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\rt.jar

Does someone know a way to solve this, or what library should I add in order to access that and where I find that library?

Answer 1

These are in rt.jar, the jar file used as run-time facilities by the JVM, and I would strongly recommend you against adding it as a dependency to your project.

See why here.

The correct way to do what you want to do is described here.
