Is there an applet equivalent of android's bitmap factory?

I have an android project, and I'm porting som开发者_StackOverflow中文版e of the project into an Applet based spin off. Is there a similar image manipulation library for android's BitmapFactory that I can use in the applet? I need to specifically load and scale JPEGs and convert them to bitmaps for use as JOGL textures. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
