Description

Every time when the Rasterizer is called, the messages like this are printed on the console:

About to transcoder source of type: org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.SVGConverterFileSource

This is often useless, especially when the Rasterizer is called as a library function. The message is not localized.

The message comes from batik-svgrasterizer/src/main/java/org/apache/batik/apps/rasterizer/DefaultSVGConverterController.java:

System.out.println("About to transcoder source of type: " + source.getClass().getName());

I suggest to remove the message or use logging functions and make the message localized.
