Library for writing XMP to a multipage TIFF

Question
Can you recommend a library that lets me add XMP data to a TIFF file? Preferably a library that can be used with Java.
OTHER TIPS
It's been a while, but it may still be useful to someone: Apache Commons has a library called Sanselan suitable for this task. It's a bit dated and the documentation is sparse, but it does the job well nevertheless:
File file = new File("path/to/your/file");
// Get XMP xml data from a file
String xml = Sanselan.getXmpXml(file);
// Process the XML data
xml = processXml(xml);
// Write XMP xml data from a file
Map params = new HashMap();
params.put(Sanselan.PARAM_KEY_XMP_XML, xml);
BufferedImage image = Sanselan.getBufferedImage(file);
Sanselan.writeImage(image, file, Sanselan.guessFormat(file), params);
You may have to be careful with multipage TIFFs though, because Sanselan.getBufferedImage
will probably only get the first (so only the first gets written back).
