Extracting Metadata in Java

How do I extract metadata from ONLY JPEG images using Java? I tried the codes on Read Image Metadata from single file with Java

import org.w3c.dom.*;

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import javax.imageio.stream.*;
import javax.imageio.metadata.*;

public class Metadata {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Metadata meta = new Metadata();
    String filename = "C:\\Users\\Public\\Pictures\\download.jpg";
    if (new File(filename).exists()) {
        meta.readAndDisplayMetadata(filename);
    } else {
        System.out.println("cannot find file: " + filename);
    }

}

void readAndDisplayMetadata( String fileName ) {
    try {

        File file = new File( fileName );
        ImageInputStream iis = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(file);
        Iterator<ImageReader> readers = ImageIO.getImageReaders(iis);

        if (readers.hasNext()) {

            // pick the first available ImageReader
            ImageReader reader = readers.next();

            // attach source to the reader
            reader.setInput(iis, true);

            // read metadata of first image
            IIOMetadata metadata = reader.getImageMetadata(0);

            String[] names = metadata.getMetadataFormatNames();
            int length = names.length;
            for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
                System.out.println( "Format name: " + names[ i ] );
                displayMetadata(metadata.getAsTree(names[i]));
            }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

void displayMetadata(Node root) {
displayMetadata(root, 0);
}

void indent(int level) {
for (int i = 0; i < level; i++)
    System.out.print("    ");
}

void displayMetadata(Node node, int level) {
// print open tag of element
indent(level);
System.out.print("<" + node.getNodeName());
NamedNodeMap map = node.getAttributes();
if (map != null) {

    // print attribute values
    int length = map.getLength();
    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        Node attr = map.item(i);
        System.out.print(" " + attr.getNodeName() +
                         "=\"" + attr.getNodeValue() + "\"");
    }
}

Node child = node.getFirstChild();
if (child == null) {
    // no children, so close element and return
    System.out.println("/>");
    return;
}

// children, so close current tag
System.out.println(">");
while (child != null) {
    // print children recursively
    displayMetadata(child, level + 1);
    child = child.getNextSibling();
}

// print close tag of element
indent(level);
System.out.println("</" + node.getNodeName() + ">");
}
}

this is the code that i used. the output that i got is a little weird. the metadata that i want to extract is the filename, the file type, MIME type, dimensions, encoding process, bits per sample, color channels, file size, JFIF version, resolution unit, x and y resolution as well as MD5 and SHA1 hash values.
