Batik and Java 7 non-compliancy

Hi all,

 

The current Batik release 1.7 is not compliant with Java 7 and gives build errors on the obsolete Sun graphics libraries (Oracle removed them in Java 7). 

 

For example:

 
batik\sources\org\apache\batik\ext\awt\image\codec\jpeg\JPEGImageWriter.java:30: 
error: package com.sun.image.codec.jpeg does not exist

 

Is there a new release planned soon that solves these issues?  Personally I do not use the JPEG and TIFF functionality in Batik so I can use the compiled jar instead for the time being, but I'm not sure if this also works when you actually use this functionality. I would expect you will get class not loaded exceptions on the obsolete sun classes.

 

Regards,

 

Michiel Bronswijk.
