Erich Schubert commented on BATIK-1005:
---------------------------------------
Maven builds of Batik 1.7 are bad, unfortunately.
They do NOT include working codecs.
The fixes for this bug has been a pull request on github for half a year, but
no reaction.
1. The maven package does not include imageio codecs:
https://github.com/apache/batik/pull/5
2. Alternative codecs are disabled, so they won't work either:
https://github.com/apache/batik/pull/6
3. The regsitry has a bug that often fails to register new codecs:
https://github.com/apache/batik/pull/4
So even if the codecs were in the list (and probably that is why they were
disabled as in #2!) they won't be recognized as such, because of the registry
bug.
All the fixes are very easy, but I have not seen any reaction so far,
unfortunately. It appears that Batik is pretty much abandoned.
> maven batik-awt-util 1.7 missing META-INF/services/ file for
> ImageWriterRegistry?

> Key: BATIK-1005
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BATIK-1005
> Project: Batik
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 1.7
> Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: Macintosh
> Reporter: Jessica
> Assignee: Batik Developer's Mailing list
>
> When we switched our project to maven, we started seeing a null pointer
> exception coming from the JPEGTranscoder, line 89. The exception happens
> because the singleton org.apache.batik.ext.awt.image.spi.ImageWriterRegistry
> instance does not have any ImageWriters registered so null is returned
> instead of a JPEGImageWriter instance.
> Looking at the code for the ImageWriterRegistry class, I think there should
> be a file called "org.apache.batik.ext.awt.image.spi.ImageWriter" inside of
> META-INF/services/ in the distributed jar which lists the image writers to
> register during setup. However, there is no such file in the
> batik-awt-util-1.7.jar.
> I do see a file in xmlgraphics-commons jar for the
> org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.writer.ImageWriter class, but the JPEGTranscoder
> doesn't use the registry from that package.
