NPE in JPEGImageReader.getImageMetadata()

[lmpmbernardo]

I get this NPE with a particular image with CMYK and an embedded ICC profile. It happens in jpegVariety.getFirstChild().appendChild(app2ICC). The firstChild in the jpegVariety is null. Could this be an issue with the image? Is there a way to attach the image?

Hi,

I accidentally pushed some experimental code for metadata handling the other day. Just pushed a fix that removes it again.

Unfortunately Metadata isn't fully supported yet (and seems like a lot of work for little gain). See issue #4.

What do you want to do with the metadata? Maybe I can help provide a workaround.

You should be able to add images by drag&drop into this editor. If that doesn't work, try direct email to harald kuhr AT gmail com (add dots where appropriate).

Thanks. The fix works. In fact I can do without the metadata, but the code I am using calls the getMetadata() method and can handle a null metadata (the NPE was the problem). The code is Apache XMLGraphics.
