Could you compile the below class and run it as java -cp your_runable.jar:. Check.

public class Check {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(
            com.sun.media.imageioimpl.common.PackageUtil.getVendor()
        );
    }
}

The output should be similar to the one from running java -cp jai_imageio-1.1.jar:. Check
