Thus far I have stuck with relatively common
image formats, but you might have a look at
ak's 'imagero' reader, <http://reader.imagero.com/>.
(I have been meaning to check it out
myself, but I won't have the time for
quite a while yet)
If you're lurking ak, does imagero do jpeg2000?
(I am not even sure what that is.. metadata?)

I've looked at Imagero (but not in quite awhile) and it didn't meet my needs
at the time. I've used the Sun ImageIO package for handling jpeg 2000
images with some success though. The images that I am dealing with are very
large (~50 meg) tiff images of aerial photos. The photos have been
converted into jpeg "thumbnails" and lossless compression images in jpeg
2000 format for viewing in a browser. Converting to MrSid format is another
option but I'd liked to avoid proprietary formats.

According the the website Imagero doesn't support jpeg 2000 images yet.
Here's a decent page on Jpeg 2000.
