Can anybody recommend a good EXIF tag handling Java package? 

I need to use it for reading and writing 'Comment' tags in at least JPG 
files, and preferably for more image types than just JPG. I found out, by 
experimenting with exiftool, that both PNG and GIF files also support the 
'Comment' tag. 

I have found a couple of packages (Thang To's javaexif and Thomas Lane's 
Mediautil package), both dating from 2006 or so and both largely 
uncommented, which doesn't make them exactly easy to use.
