Hi, it would be convenient to add an accessor:

public static ImageExtractor getInstance() { return INSTANCE; }

This helps in the case when i'm running BP with JRuby.

Further - is there a way to contribute? if this were in Github i would already have made a pull request :)

PS - kudos for a great build experience! i had no problem running my own build what so ever.

Sorry about the 'defect' type. Not used to google code.

Hi dipidi,

committed as of r164.

Thanks! Christian

PS: github certainly is an option I am currently exploring.
