Using extensions

[Cameron McCormack <ca...@aka.mcc.id.au>]

Normally I start Batik like this:

  java -jar batik-1.5.1/batik.jar

but I've just noticed that I can't use any extensions.  I found that the
Service class doesn't find the META-INF/services/* files to load the
extensions.  After playing around I found that if I use this command
line:

  CLASSPATH=batik-1.5.1/batik.jar:batik-1.5.1/lib/batik-extension.jar:$CLASSPATH \
    java org.apache.batik.apps.svgbrowser.Main

then they do load.  Why is this?

Thanks,

Cameron

    This is intentional.  The extensions are just that extensions,
we want to ensure that users of Batik know when they have 'crossed
the line'.  In recent releases we include an 'extensions' directory
which has jar files that will include the 'extension' jar on
the class path (these jar files consist solely of an updated
manifest).  These jars must stay in the same relative directy tree
from the rest of the batik Jars.
