Developers:

I am currently working on an application that is utilizing Batik Rasterizer for 
exporting our graphic data.  I have noticed that a module used for JPEG 
exporting (specifically JPEGImageWriter in package 
org.apache.batik.ext.awt.image.codec.jpeg) uses Sun's proprietary packages 
com.sun.*.

In most cases, this seems fine.  However, in a recent revision of OpenJDK 
shipped on Ubuntu systems, they have updated some interfaces to now be classes. 
 Since Sun has the disclaimer that they are allowed to change code located in 
these packages without warning, we are at the mercy of what they choose to do.

I would like to submit a patch, rewriting the module to use java.* and javax.* 
instead of com.sun*, assuming the process hasn't already been started by 
someone else.

Please reply at your earliest convenience and let me know if this is still a 
maintained application, and what process you have for patch submissions.

Best Regards
