3.1. Java plugins

Installation of Plugins for the Java Image I/O Framework.

GroIMP requires only a Java runtime environment in order to run. However, the capabilities of some parts of the Java runtime environment can be extended by the installation of additional plugins. GroIMP makes use of the Java Image I/O Framework which provides such a pluggable architecture: The user may install plugins which add support for an image file format to the Java Image I/O Framework. If the standard installation of the Java runtime environment does not support an image file format you need, please consult the Java Image I/O pages for a suitable plugin.
