RE: Running SVG viewer in Mac OS X
Folks,
Back in May there was some traffic on the batik-dev and the batik-users
lists about problems running batik under MacOS X. I saw some similar
traffic on the Apple Java list. [For context, some snippets are listed
below] I've been testing this with Mac OS 10.0.4 with Batik 1.0 and the
1.1rc with similar results. I was curious to know if anyone had insight
as to whether this bug is really on the Apple side of the house, and the
prospects for its resolution? Thanks!

Well, things improved a little bit with the DP2 release of Java.
But they still have significant issues with child rasters. I
submitted another simple test case for them to debug against, but I
have heard nothing back from them on this topic at all.
I can only hope that when Mac OS 10.1 ships (very soon now) it
will all magically work. I try not to be too hard on Apple since they
did choose the proper route of integrating Java Graphics with the
Quartz engine. It's worth knowing this is really the first time the
Java2D engine has been integrated with something other than the
'Ductus' renderer on which the Win32 and X11 versions are built, so
I'm sure they are breaking a whole lot of new ground, probably with
out a lot of guidance available.
Anyway with all the work they are doing to tie into the hardware
acceleration it should hopefully be a very impressive platform for
Batik when they are done.
