ImageInputStream.setByteOrder(...) expect a boolean argument: "true" for
network (big-endian) byte order, and "false" for reverse (little-endian) byte
order. Such a convention is not really obvious. A type-safe enumeration would
be more explicit.

Such an enumeration already exist: the java.nio.ByteOrder class, which provide
only two static fields: BIG_ENDIAN and LITTLE_ENDIAN. Because this enumeration
already exists in JDK 1.4 and is just waiting to be used, I suggest to make the
following replacements:

Replace
   void ImageInputStream.setByteOrder(boolean)
by
   void ImageInputStream.setByteOrder(ByteOrder)



Replace
   boolean ImageInputStream.getByteOrder()
by
   ByteOrder ImageInputStream.getByteOrder()
