Re: Empty batik.jar and version identification

Hi all,

quick note at first: I send this question to the mailing list last week.
Today I saw that there was a verification mail for subscription. I don't
know if my first email has been broadcastet through the mailing list. I
don't think so. That's why I try it again with this mail. If the first mail
came in, please answer to the first one and ignore this mail. Sry for
inconvenience.

To the topic:
When I down load the current verions batik.zip file the batik.jar file is
empty! There are no packages and no classes included in the batik.jar!

There is only the META-INF directory with three files:
MANIFEST.MF
LICENSE (empty)
NOTICE (empty)

We have already had a batik.jar on our fileserver. There are classes
included in the file. It basically works, but I got Exceptions on some
input. That's why I wanted to try the current version. Actually I don't know
which version this batik.jar is. Here is the content of the manifest file:

######### begin of manifest of the unknown batik version #########
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: Apache Ant 1.5.1
######### end of manifest of the unknown batik version #########

- Why there are no classes included in the current version of batik.jar? Is
it an mistake / error or did I miss some important documentation or change
in the API?
- How / Where can I download a up-to-date and working batik.jar?
- Maybe it would help to identify the version of the old batik.jar. How do I
do this?

Background: I am using Anty Samy from OWASP to filter out JavaScript from
HTML input and batik is a dependency of anti samy.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
