A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Java supports all major image formats for reading/writing but there is no support for reading images from icon, executable and shared files. I have seen 3rd party libraries for aforementioned files which are less reliable and are prone to bugs.
JUSTIFICATION :
In-built support straight from JDK would give a developer like me to not to worry of deploying the 3rd party library or installing/plugging with the application and above all bugs arising due to incompatibility with system OS, JRE. Registering readers/writers during loading is not hard though but in-built support would also ensure bug-free and piece of mind.
