Fop able to run without Batik?

[Ec...@tonbeller.com]

Batik is only necessary to generate SVG output, right? I guess, a lot of 
people are using Fop to generate PDF only, but Fop needs batik.jar in any 
case because the driver initializes an "SVG element  mapping":

org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.setupDefaultMappings() :
  addElementMapping("org.apache.fop.svg.SVGElementMapping");

This method will throw a ClassNotFoundException when batik.jar is not in 
the classpath

Maybe the initialization of the element mapping could somehow be moved to 
SVG specific code. Ideally it would be included only when the output 
format requires Batik

Nope, you forgot about svg images.
