[Advanced-java] RTF to BMP

[Dennis Sosnoski]

You can do this using a javax.swing.JEditorPane component. Render it to 
a buffer by first creating a java.awt.image.BufferedImage of the 
appropriate size and depth, then get the java.awt.Graphic2D from the 
BufferedImage and pass it in a call to the paintAll method of the 
component. Once you've got the buffered image you can use 
com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGImageEncoder to convert it to a JPEG, or 
massage it into form to be used by one of the APIs available for writing 
BMP.

Warning: many aspects of this type of operation are kludgy and/or 
broken, especially if you're doing this server side with a headless 
display. Support seems to be gradually improving.
