FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Tiger 1.5 beta

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
WIndows 2000 with service pack two

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
class java.awt.Image and javax.swing.ImageIcon will not display BMP or WBMP image format. Both classes return -1 for image height and width. I have checked to see if the images are corrupted by use of other image editing programs and they always run fine. The same technique used to display gif's, jpeg's and png's is used but the BMP and WBMP will simply not appear on a button or label.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
//Make the ImageIcon by creating an image with the toolkit method

ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(...."picture.bmp"));

//Make a label with the icon
JLabel lbl = new JLabel(imageIcon);
//This won't work either
lbl.setIcon(imageIcon);

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Expected Result is a Jlabel with an image.
ACTUAL -
Actual result was a JLabel with anot much

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
No error or exceptions thrown just image heigth and width = -1;

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
