Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hi,

I need to do an animation, I am using an Image object to load an animated GIF. Is there any way to run all the frames which this GIF contains using the Image Object?. I don�t want to extract each image from the gif and then copy them into a jpg format, and then have to make a loop to animate the set of JPG images... it is possible, only load the GIF, and with some java class, animate the gif??

Thanks.
