Bonjour,

If  you want to take advantage of Batik SVG support capabilities and you 
if are looking for an extensible open source "libre" SVG Editor have a 
look at  GLIPS Graffiti.

You could try Sketsa http://www.kiyut.com/products/sketsa/index.html

It is written in Java

HI
Thank you for all your warm reply.
Here is almost a complete description of my requirement
I should develop an application to control a marking machine , A marking 
machine is a machine capable of marking some shapes / texts on metal, 
wood, glass surfaces.
the requirement for project is :
1-the GUI interface should be capable to draw cad shapes , things like : 
Circle , Polygon ,.... . I read the SVG spec and i find that SVG itself 
has all shapes that i need as basic elements.
so my first requirement is satisfied with any OSS  Graphical SVG editor.
2-second feature is , CAD like capabilities , there should be some kind 
of ruler , Grid to guide the users about what they are drawing and a 
precision about 1/10 mm .
3-one thing that is very important is , software should be able to 
return all points in the drawing pane ,  for more explanation :
imagine that i draw a line on the GUI interface (in drawing pane) , now 
i should be able to retrieve all of its points , or at least all 
important points (Start and END). by all points i mean the pixels or 
logical points that are arranged side by side to produce the shape. for 
example a circle could be produced by an 80 side polygon , i should be 
able to retrieve each side  (which is a line) start and end coordination.
4-This requirement is something that made me crazy right now -i 
developed an application with Delphi but i stopped with texts there is 
no way that i can find al points that produce some parts of a character 
in Delphi and graphical pane that i used for drawing-
The software that I'm going to start and complete in *Java/C++/.... 
*based on one of the available OSS editor should be able to give me 
important points or all drawing points of texts that are reside on its 
visual editor.
for example , you imagine that some one need to mark an HLM on one of 
its metal surface , he/she come to my software and write that characters 
on graphical editor pane , s/he change is font... and then press the 
Mark button ,
Now i should be able to retrieve all points that created H (or all 
important points that one can create H using them and some simple 
drawing algorithms) and send them to Serial port and from there to 
mechanical sections of machine.
right now all section of machine are complete , my Delphi software can 
communicate with it (I simply can arrange a java or C++ software to 
communicate with my hardware controller)

Now my question for help is more  clear , so i would welcome any comment 
/ help / advice on this topic

I should say that , i find some suitable DXF library in Java which i can 
use to import DXF files into my java application ,
I know XML processing so processing SVG files would not be so hard for 
me to learn.

Depending on what you're doing, Inkscape will fit the bill.  There are
people using Inkscape for CAD like operation.  There is even a guy using
it to draw maps for crime scene investigation.  If you have any
questions you can look on the Inkscape webpage, or feel free to join
inkscape-users, there are lots of people there to help you figure out
how to use various features of Inkscape.  We're not Java, but we do run
on almost all the platforms out there (which is better than a lot of
Java programs ;)

Although it is not Java based, there is Inkscape. 
Inkscape is an Open Source SVG editor.
