Hello! I've read the FAQ and tried my best to search for an answer on the mailing list.
I've downloaded Batik 1.5beta4b and unpacked it using jar.exe (from Sun JDK 1.4.0_02). When I try to start the program using java -jar batik-squiggle.jar I get the splash screen but then I get java.Security.AccessControlException with a long stack trace (which unfortunately cannot be copied and pasted). However, it seems like it fails to read the file batik-squiggle.jar, which is the file it read from the beginning to even start running the program. So, the failure of reading don't seem to be on an operating level system but rather on a Java security level (but why...?). Reproducing this problem is dead easy, I only have to try once again to even start batik-squiggly.jar to see it reappear. I run Windows 2000, 5.00.2195, Service Pack 3. I've also tried out using a JRE 1.3.1 and JRE 1.3 with the same error appearing. When using those versions of Java, I did not use jar for unpacking, simply because those JREs don't have jar. Instead I used the Winzip which might or might not be a good idea. Sorry for being so extremely vague regarding the problem, I suspect something is wierd in my Java setup (but Java works for my other programs on the system...). I managed to dig out some info from the mailing list, there's something called "policy file" which one can edit but when reading the install guide for batik, there's no hint about any such files. Another option is the classpath but the install guide neither says what to do with the classpath so I suppose that the classpath should not have to be touched. On the other hand, when checking out "Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables" the classpath variable is not listed. That's a bit scary too. Frankly, this is embarrasing. I've learned how to program Java (have very little practice, is by no means an expert) but when I run into this (presumely very basic) problem, I'm completely lost. . Any help is sincerely appreciated. Best Regards /IlvJa PS. Why do I go through this? Well, SVG appears to be the best thing since sliced bread (just reading the specification makes a graphics geek like me euphoric), and I'm on a quest for a SVG viewer which actually is able to generate SVG printouts which actually are usable. Batik seems promising (I expect to get it running :eventually -). /DS.
