Comment (by Coatman):

 The first several releases of QGIS properly displayed JPEG2000 and
 GeoJPEG2000 images, using both Jasper and Kakadu.  Then QGIS was
 "upgraded", with the result being that QGIS no longer properly displays
 JPEG2000 nor GeoJPEG2000 images.  Not using Jasper, and not using Kakadu.
 This problem is well documented and visible at
 http://homepage.mac.com/gregcoats/jp2.html

 9 months later it was simply decreed that QGIS would be released without
 the ability its early versions had to display JPEG2000 images.  The author
 of Kakadu offered the Kakadu source code for free to this project.  I
 offered to pay a programmer.  So, I am at a loss to understand why nothing
 has been done, and why there is no plan to do anything?

 I offer $2,500.00 for a version of QGIS, compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.5
 and Kakadu 6.1.1, that works essentially similar to the free application
 kdu_macshow, and is released by 23 Dec 2008.
