Add JDeli to your project via Maven or Gradle, or see using JDeli with Java modules.

JDeli can automatically detect the file type and will use the WMF File Reader

BufferedImage image = JDeli.read(wmfImageFile);

or

WmfDecoder decoder = new WmfDecoder();
BufferedImage image = decoder.read(wmfData);

See the full Javadoc.
