I've been working on getting JPEG exif reading to work using the
Drew's metadata-extractor. My work is located here:

How does this look to you? It works nicely in extracting EXIF on the
files (from one camera) we've been using. Also using this server side
in OMERO has been working.

I'm not really sure on whether to include the xmpcore.jar file or not.
Also, xercesImpl has to be updated to updated to at least 2.8.1. I'm
still working on that getting that comitted. Do you foresee any
problems with that?

Thanks,
