Reported against Ubuntu package in Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/batik/+bug/256828). Original text as follows: As specified at [1], it should be possible to use javax.imageio.* apis for JPEG encoding. We need to evaluate if this is practical, without any loss of functionality and then patch batik source. This will make batik usable with more Free JVMs. [1] http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/ClasspathMigration#head-d4ee9efe53a641e29ffdcd96e985bf38bbc671c1
