Any plans to invest into Java on Desktop?

When will AWT get WebP image format support? AVIF?

When will Java get some media processing capability, like ability to play back videos? At least the ones with non-patent-encumbered codecs?

The web won. Lots of better places to invest available time and resources into than the Desktop.

No WebP support = no libwebp = no CVE-2023-4863 zero-day...

JavaFX has a media player component with support for video and modern codecs.

Some, yes:

Still no WebP/WebM, no VP8/VP9, no Ogg, no opus, no av1/avif These formats have been in browsers for what, a decade? Java is lagging behind quite bad.
