Import image in Map Builder

Question

When using the import image tool of Map Builder to create a GeoRaster theme, you may get a popup window with an error message saying that the import was not successful. The application console should contain the following lines.
Creating GeoRaster Table...
Calling DML trigger...
Creating raster data table...
Importing File...
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: null
The georaster object is not loaded correctly!!
This error happens because of a missing JAI initialization file on mapbuilder.jar file. To solve this problem you need to add the initialization file to mapbuilder.jar.
1) locate file jai_core.jar on your Oracle installation (usually located at ordim/lib directory).
2) extract file javax.media.jai.registryFile.jai (extract with full path meta-inf\).
2) go to directory where mapbuilder.jar is and double click it to open (usually opens with WinZip).
3) drag folder meta-inf that contains the JAI initialization file to the opened mapbuilder.jar. Check if you have the initialization file with path meta-inf\ inside mapbuilder.jar.
4) Close mapbuilder.jar.
5) Start Map Builder and test the import.

to be a little more precise, it seems to happen when updating spatial extent.
here is the console output
