Description
Bio-Formats currently uses the JAI Image I/O Tools to read JPEG2000 files including ND2. Since we already bundle jai_imageio.jar with Bio-Formats anyway, it would be nice to have a general purpose base class reader and writer that call the Image I/O logic for all relevant formats. In this way, we could read and write file format variants that are not currently supported, such as certain forms of TIFF compression.
The challenge is to come up with a good way to decide which reader to use when multiple different readers appear to support a particular file; see ticket #173 for more details.
