I think he means he wants a suggested image manipulation project he
can implement in Java.
The one I would like personally is a tool to remove backgrounds
intelligently and feather the edges with variable alpha.
Another (which I believe Adobe does based on a book I am reading) is a
way to shrink a GIF or PNG in such a way everything is antialiased.
That way you would design a big icon and shrink it down and have it
still look decent.

I know. I was teasing him, and I already regret it. A little bit ;)

I think all current operating systems are able to handle truecolor
icons, don't they? But you are right, of course. It would be very nice
to have a decent image manipulation API at hand.
What I would like even more is that the current image scaling algorithms
would work reliably. Graphics#drawImage is very slow and gives me
different results under Linux and OS X. Image#getScaledInstance gives
consistent and good quality on both platforms, but it literaly takes
_seconds_ to scale a 1000*1000 pixel image...
