Introduction I have googled and wrote small code snippet for parsing and printing image metadata in Java. The biggest problem of this program (or maybe Java standard imageio library) cannot read jpeg exif data. I have found following solutions for this problem. Java Advanced Image API (Plugin) <- Looks quite obsolete. I also found the project in java.net - jai-imageio , but again not maintained for a long time :( Apache Commons Imaging : Tested in Java: Available Tags for Extracting Metadata Using Apache Commons Imaging Sanselan : Tested in Java: Read Exif Metadata Using Sanselan metadata-extractor : Testes in Java: Read Exif Metadata Using metadata-extractor J-Exiftool Both libraries are not updated recently but I guess it's because they don't need anymore enhancements. I will investigate and re-post how to use these image libraries soon... In this post, I only show you the code snippet for parsing and printing image metadata using Java standard Image API
