Pure Java JPEG Decoders?

As there are always some issues with loading images I recently checked if there is any pure & free2use Java implementation of a JPEG decoder. Well, obviously there isn’t any alternative to Sun’s javax.imageio package. However I found an interesting site summarizing libraries for de- and encoding raster images here.

As for my schedule: I plan to write some simple decoder for PPM, just a ppm to BufferedImage converter, which should be threaded to support parallel execution on the new double core systems. Doing the same with JPG would be quite a thing I think
