Hi You could try this :
Image image;
ImageViewer imageViewer1 = new ImageViewer();
try
{
imageViewer1.setImageURL(symantec.itools.net.RelativeURL.getURL("yourgif.gif or the URL of your gif"));
}
catch (java.net.MalformedURLException error)
image = imageViewer1.getImage();
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image);
This should take care of your problem.

Hi Prashant,
Look for third party classes.
I searched for "java gif encoder" and found the following.

Good Luck,

Which classes are you talking about here ?!! Is it Image & ImageViewer ?!! If so, you don't have to download it. It should be available in AWT Multimedia(ImageViewer). Image is again an abstract class in AWT.
