I am using the latest extractor on your website. 2.5.0 RC3.

Jpg file exception:

When I try to get the date of release of this photo I get an exception that I 
can not manage, the program crashes anyone has any idea?

The development environment is the NetBeans 7.1.1, jdk version 1.6
s.o. windows 7 32 bit and windows xp 32 bit

The method I used is as follows:

     public static String LeggiMetaDataDataScatto (java.lang.String Path) {

         String result = "";

         JpegFile file = new File (Path);
             try {
                 Metadata metadata = ImageMetadataReader.readMetadata (jpegFile);

                 for (Directory directory: metadata.getDirectories ()) {
                     for (Tag tag: directory.getTags ()) {
                         String info = tag.toString ();

                         System.out.println (info);
                         if (Info.contains ("Date / Time Digitized")) {
                             Result = info;
                         }
                     }
                 }
                 System.out.println (metadata);
             } Catch (Exception e) {
             }
}

I get this error:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com /

Dunno how you do it in netbeans but somehow make sure you have the second 
xmp.jar from the src zip in your active libraries

You're seeing this error because Adobe's XMP jar file couldn't be found.  Are 
you sure it's available on your classpath?

In a future version I hope to make the dependency upon this XMP jar optional.

I updated the wiki with information that should help in this case:
