I found the cause of the problem. I had a dependency that was bringing in fop:fop transitively but that wasn't required in my application. Once I added that exclusion then I found I needed the following for batik. I removed some batik dependencies that did not seem needed for SVG -> PNG conversion...there may be more optimizations that can be made.
The key to finding this was to use the dependency:tree goal to see exactly what the dependencies actually are. <!--batik--> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.xmlgraphics</groupId> <artifactId>batik-rasterizer</artifactId> <version>${batik.version}</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.apache.xmlgraphics</groupId> <artifactId>fop</artifactId> </exclusion> <exclusion> <groupId>xalan</groupId> <artifactId>xalan</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.xmlgraphics</groupId> <artifactId>batik-codec</artifactId> <version>${batik.version}</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.apache.xmlgraphics</groupId> <artifactId>batik-bridge</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> -Dave On Fri, May 31, 2013 at 1:10 PM, David Hoffer <dhoff...@gmail.com> wrote: > I added... > > <dependency> > <groupId>crimson</groupId> > <artifactId>crimson</artifactId> > </dependency> > > And that got me past this issue but then XML parsing breaks in other parts > of the app/build.
