Copy to Clipboard IOException (ARGB channel no longer supported for JPEGs)

[lynnskii]

I'm in the process of migrating my applications to OpenJDK 11, I've discovered that copying a ChartPanel image to the WIndows clipboard now gives an IOException:

java.io.IOException: Registered service providers failed to encode BufferedImage@228e6026: type = 2 DirectColorModel: rmask=ff0000 gmask=ff00 bmask=ff amask=ff000000 IntegerInterleavedRaster: width = 765 height = 420 #Bands = 4 xOff = 0 yOff = 0 dataOffset[0] 0 to image/jpeg

Have done some research, it seems that the alpha channel of the JPEG image is no longer supported in the OpenJDK implementation.

I've tracked it down to org.jfree.chart.ChartTransferable.ChartTransferable.createBufferedImage(…)
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);

If BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB is replaced by BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB, it works. Not sure if there are any other places with similar issues.

Here are some links from my research:

Apparently, the clipboard converts the image into JPG format instead of PNG as the menu item promises. As you would expect, the stack trace vanishes if the image type BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB is used to prepare the image for transfer. The visual result doesn't differ.

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8176556
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8204188
JDK-8204187 removed support for ARGB channel for JPEG. Test uses ARGB input to encode JPEG image and we get IOException.

Hi @lynnskii - have you thought about creating a Pull Request to provide your fix?

It seems a straightforward fix, you can create a PR here:
https://github.com/jfree/jfreechart/pulls

I'm also _suffering_ from the issue, so if you don't I'm quite happy to.
