The above difference led me to check registry what is actually executed when
jar file is clicked. I found there is JRE 9 specified (I made some
experiments recently).

So basically I used different Java versions for direct executing and for
executing from the console.

In other words, Batik turned out not to be compatible with upcoming JDK 9.
