Images edge rounding and transparency

We have been doing some image handling using the Java API (scale etc.) A coworker of mine (art director), asked me if it is possible to top edges off a given image and leave these edges transparent using just the Java API? Example: http://www.benq.com/images/homepage/200606/180x60_e61.gif

Yes, many kinds of BufferedImage support transparent colorsand provide different means to manipulate with raster data (e.g. setRGB() or you may draw some other image on top of this one).
