Read Gimp's XCF image file in Java

Is there a Java library that can read XCF image format (GIMP native file format), i.e. into BufferedImage? I know there is a linux script xcf2png or xcf2jpg. Is it possible to read directly from Java?

Is there any C/C++ library that I can use to write GIMP xcf files? I want a standalone library that does not depend on the GIMP source (because it is to much work do separate things out from this huge program)?
