Batik Plugin?
Can Batik be run as an Internet Explorer Plugin? In the same way as the
Adobe SVG Viewer?

Thomas,
Your recollection is correct: we did a proof of concept using a Mozilla
project called Blackwood. This was over two years ago. See:

Not that I am aware of. Some people have played with using Batik
as an applet. You can also start it from a web page using Java Web Start,
but AFAIK you can't use java to handle a particular mime type in IE,
apparently this _is_ possible in Mozilla (I think they were/are called
pluglets) this was done for a _very_ early version of Batik but I
don't know where that code is (I don't think it was ever actually
contributed- and it probably wouldn't be all that useful at this point).
