The encoder.gif package appears to be missing from the Sun version of the JIMI distribution. Here's a list of the GIF-related classes in the original JIMI:

ctrawick@rock(Linux) /usr/JIMI2.0 # jar -green tvf JimiProClasses.jar | grep gif
     0 Wed Apr 07 02:13:54 EDT 1999 com/activated/jimi/decoder/gif/
  1003 Wed Apr 07 02:13:54 EDT 1999 com/activated/jimi/decoder/gif/GIFDecoderFactory.class
     0 Wed Apr 07 02:13:54 EDT 1999 com/activated/jimi/encoder/gif/
   923 Wed Apr 07 02:13:54 EDT 1999 com/activated/jimi/encoder/gif/GIFEncoderFactory.class
ctrawick@rock(Linux) /usr/JIMI2.0 #


Here's a list of the GIF-related classes in the new distribution:

ctrawick@rock(Linux) ~/src/Jimi % unzip -l JimiProClasses.zip | grep gif
      0 08-09-99 14:41 com/sun/jimi/core/decoder/gif/
   1146 08-09-99 14:42 com/sun/jimi/core/decoder/gif/GIFDecoderFactory.class
   9193 08-09-99 14:42 com/sun/jimi/core/decoder/gif/GIFDecoder.class
   1790 08-09-99 14:42 com/sun/jimi/core/decoder/gif/GIFFileHeader.class

   1598 08-09-99 14:42 com/sun/jimi/core/decoder/gif/GIFImageDescriptor.class
    754 08-09-99 14:42 com/sun/jimi/core/decoder/gif/GIFColorTable.class
ctrawick@rock(Linux) ~/src/Jimi %

Note that while there are new decoder classes, the encoder is now missing. In fact, in several key areas (like documentation, etc) JIMI has appeared to take some steps backward under Sun rule. Please fix.
