This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
One item that would bring a lot of users to netbeans, that I feel it's missing, is JPEG support. Yes, it works with some devices that have native support, but there are a few JPEGDecoders out there that could be greatly improved upon, or rewritten to allow jpeg's to be shown on any device. There are devices out there like ALL Palm PDA's (i.e. Treo 600/650) that have camera's that take pictures in JPEG format, but are unaccessible. Superwaba has been able to do this and I'm about to be forced to switch to SuperWaba due to this. I don't want to, help impement this!
Do you mean IDE should support view/use in visual editor of jpg picture or code templates/libraries should be available for use in the MIDP application? Please, tell us more details.

Could you recommend a good jpeg library? Plug-in based architecture of NetBeans makes it very easy to add additional libraries so that they can be used in projects. It is more difficult from legal point of view though since we are not allowed to distribute a 3rd-party library without an approval from the owner.

[Is this issue still valid in NB6.1?]
yes, this is about libraries that should be provide in NB or created by NB team
