SUN is developing a JAVA Advanced Imaging API.  This is their standard  for
manipulating Imagery using JAVA.  At this time they are not intending on
supporting NITF or BIIF as one of the supported file formats.  They will
reconsider if there is enough interest from the community.

To learn more about JAI check out

Send comments suggesting the addition of NITF and / or BIIF as a supported
file format to http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/

Feel free to forward this message to any parties who might be interested.
