[jira] [Commented] (BATIK-1239) Class XMLConstants vanished from Batik

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BATIK-1239?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16597046#comment-16597046 ] 

Andreas Tille commented on BATIK-1239:
--------------------------------------

Thanks for the quick response and the hint to add batik-constants.jar to the classpath.

As you can read in one comment of the [Debian bug log|https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=907559#17] it makes sense to find out the motivation to split out batik-constants from the main batik package which is quite modularised in itself and thus the split might be temporary or not.  From a Debian point of view it is not simply adding a jar to the classpath since to fix the bug in Debian we need to create a new package.  Before doing so it makes sense to find out the motivation and future plans.

Kind regards, Andreas.

> Hi,
> I'm facing a problem in Debian with a package that is using Batik that does not explicitly contain XMLConstants but fails to start anyway.  The issue is discussed in the according [bug report|https://bugs.debian.org/907559] and the suggestion was to contact Batik authors whether there is a hint how to deal with the issue.
> Kind regards, Andreas.
