It looks to me like you are missing one or more of the Batik Jar files. In particular the method that throws the initializer error is most likely trying to reference a class from batik-util.jar. If you are working from source you are probably missing the 'resources' directory from your classpath.

Okay, color me silly. I mounted my \Batik Source\resources directory in Netbeans and reran. Bingo. I just figured everything I would need would be in the sources directory.
No only Java source is in the sources directory. All of the resource files to handle internationalization and some customization are in the resources directory.
SNQ2: Does this mean that if I build an application, that these files need to be loaded/distributed with the Java app?
Yes, the ant build files include targets to build jar files which will included the appropriate parts of the resources tree in the appropriate jar files.
Sorry, I am still learning to think/speak/read like a real programmer. Only been learning this for 6 months in my hobby time (I am a systems/security admin for an anti-spam/anti-virus company in the real world). :)
I hope to use Batik to build an open-source war simulator game, using SVG content for all graphics such as the maps and units and whatnot.
Good luck, it should be pretty neat.
