    Presumably you mean find lines/text/shapes in the JPEG and convert
them to paths in an SVG file.  No we do not have any auto-tracing
abilities in Batik (although they might be a welcome addition).  Doing
this well is _very_ difficult.

    On the other hand if you don't mind the JPEG image saying a JPEG
(raster data) you can simply use the <image> tag to reference the
JPEG, just like you might do in HTML, or if you want the SVG to be
standalone you can Base64 encode the image and include it inline. We
don't really provide tools for this, but it's so trivial there isn't
much point.

Well, yes and no.

SVG (Scalable "Vector" Graphics) is a vector (line-and-shape-oriented)
format, jpeg is a raster ("pixel-based") format.  So the two are
inherently different, and in fact the usual way of including
pixel/bitmap data in an SVG file is via an included image element:

<svg>
  <image xlink:href="myimage.jpeg"/>
</svg>
 
The above code is technically SVG, but you see that the SVG format
just passes the work of encoding pixels to the contained image
element.
