FYI: Batik rasterizer on Debian Etch

["Michael F. Lamb" <mi...@datagrok.org>]

Hello,

I've just used batik, installed on my Debian Etch system
via 'apt-get libbatik-java', (debian package v. 1.6-2) to
convert an svg file to png.

To make it work, I had to go through a procedure dissimilar
from most of what I found for installation and usage
instructions on the web:

# Installed using make-jpkg package
JAVA=/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/java

# Installed by the libbatik-java package
BATIK_JAR=/usr/share/java/batik.jar 

# Installed automatically by the libxerces2-java package
XERCES_JAR=/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar

$JAVA -cp $BATIK_JAR:$XERCES_JAR \
  org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.Main \
  -scriptSecurityOff $filename

Most evident is that there seems to be no
batik-rasterizer.jar in the Debian Etch distribution.

Perhaps this is an issue for the debian package maintainer
instead. This was a one-off conversion for me, otherwise
I'd do more busywork. But I thought it would be prudent to
at least drop you a note, for your public documentation, so
that you can help other Debian users if they come asking
about it, or so you can point me at the documentation I may
have missed. ;)

Thanks for the great software!
-Mike

I am not familiar with Debian, but if you are not afraid of file (jar)
size get bigger. It will be simpler if you build all-jar, so it package
all batik stuff in single jar file, so there will be no more package not
included in the classpath. 

On the side note, all-jar only package batik stuff, it excludes external
lib eg: xerces, js, etc
