[Geotools-gt2-users] Reading GIS metadata from a JPEG2000 image?

[Alex M. <al...@bi...>]

Greetings,

While not a complete moron, I am relatively new to Java and have been
struggling swimming through the various class libraries for reading images
into GeoTools. 

I am trying to extract the Geo metadata from a JPEG2000 (GeoJPEG) image and
I am struggling to find any examples on the Web of how this is accomplished.
My previous task, using GeoTIFF as a source, was pretty trivial using
GeoTiffReader once I got my head around it.

I have seen a few discussions talking about using native libraries through
GDAL, but I am trying to locate a pure Java approach to this as all I am
after is the Geo Metadata so that I can extract out the geographical or
projected co-ordinates which I can then map to WGS84 using MathTransform.

Can anyone point in me in the right direction, perhaps some example code or
a blog/article discussing this ?

Thanks in advance

Al
