Add to Your's Project

If you use maven for dependency management, add following snippet to pom.xml:

	<dependencies>
		...

		<dependency>
			<groupId>com.nmote.iim4j</groupId>
			<artifactId>nmote-iim4j</artifactId>
			<version>1.0.0</version>
		</dependency>

	</dependencies>

How to use it

There are few sample programs in a samples directory.

To read JPEG metadata you would do:

	IIMReader reader = new IIMReader(new JPEGIIMInputStream(new FileIIMInputStream(file)),
		new IIMDataSetInfoFactory());

	IIMFile iimFile = new IIMFile();
	iimFile.readFrom(reader, 20);

	for (DataSet ds : iimFile.getDataSets()) {
		Object value = ds.getValue();
		DataSetInfo info = ds.getInfo();
		System.out.println(info.toString() + " " + info.getName() + ": " + value);
	}
