Access restriction error? not sure how to fix it....

Question

I am trying to use JPEGImageEncoder and i imported import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.*; fine but i get the following error on my code:
CODE:
JPEGImageEncoder encoder =JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(outImage);
ERROR:
Access restriction: The type JPEGImageEncoder is not accessible due to restriction on required library /usr/local/java/jdk1.6.0_07/jre/lib/rt.jar
I am not sure how to fix this... anyone know what needs to be done? I am using eclipse and i see the rt.jar in my library....
thanks!

OK, I agree it's simpler for simple cases, but how do I do something like this:
          JPEGImageEncoder jie = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(os);
          JPEGEncodeParam jep = jie.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam(bi);
          jep.setDensityUnit(JPEGEncodeParam.DENSITY_UNIT_DOTS_INCH);
          jep.setXDensity(1200);
          jep.setYDensity(1200);
          jep.setQuality(1, false);
          jie.setJPEGEncodeParam(jep);
          jie.encode(bi);
using ImageIO?
"Stupid" Eclipse+Maven refuse to compile this legacy code.It's an Eclipse error, not a Java/compiler error as such. To fix it, I believe you have to check your plug-in configuration -- imported packages here or exported packages there. Try adding "com.sun.image.codec.jpeg" to the imported packages. Something along those lines. Anyway, bottom line: this is not an issue with the code.
