Re: [Geotools-gt2-users] Rendering rasters without JAI

Hi Gabriella,

Unless you have an old Mac you shouldn't need to install JAI or
ImageIO.  They come pre-installed as part of the OS (I'm running 10.4
on a macbook and it has both).  The jars should be in
/System/Library/Java/Extensions.

The only JAI prob I've had with Geotools on the Mac was getting
nonsense values from convolution when using anything other than a
minimal kernel size.  I talked about that in a recent thread.  And the
problem was actually fixed by turning native lib support *off* like
this:

Properties p = new Properties(System.getProperties());
if (p.getProperty("os.name").compareToIgnoreCase("mac os x") == 0) {
  p.put("com.sun.media.jai.disableMediaLib", "true");
  System.setProperties(p);
}
