I strongly disagree! :-)

Your UI is fine. Even SWT is OK. It's just hard to package. Your model 
is exemplary, as evidenced by the minimal effort required to write a 
command-line interface. I had that working _long_ before I figured out 
how to get SWT running on my platform.

David stubbed in a Swing GUI, but I've been lazy. :-)

I haven't run into it, but my images rarely run over 10 MB. It's easy 
to adjust with -Xmsn and -Xmxn.
