Problem with example code, but just in Eclipse ?

Anyone seen this before?

I'm using Batik 1.7 (built from website's sources), Ubuntu 11.04, and
openjdk 6b22-1.10.2-0ubuntu1~11.04.1.

I'm using the  the "TestSVGGen" example code (
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/using/svg-generator.html )

When I just past that code into a .java file, and built and run it
from the command line, it works great.

But when I put that same class into my Eclipse project, I get the
following stack dump.  Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
