Image manipulation in Java

Created a small and simple utility class for myself to be able to perform common operations on images in Java.
Using this class you can load and save images, you’re able to resize images maintaining aspect ratio, you’re able to save jpeg images with specified compression, you can rotate images to any given angle, you can also watermark images.
Hope it’ll save you some time.

Today I had this nice idea…

I wanted to implement some simple persistence support for my objects that probably contain at most 5-7 fields and the total number of objects would be at most 20-30. I didn’t want to put database and ORM in place for such a small task.
So I thought I’m going to develop something like:

#persons.properties
name = John
lastName = [...]
