The class was not removed but moved to a different package (o.a.batik.anim.dom). The reason was https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BATIK-1098, which has been fixed in 1.8. The option was either to aggregate some jars or to move some classes to different packages and the latter was chosen.

Note that unless you need to use CMYK colors or you face some of few bugs that have been fixed since 1.7 there is no need to upgrade. Batik has been mostly inactive since 1.7 and the main developments in Batik (except for CMYK) are only likely to be noticeable if you use FOP.

Batik 1.8 seems to have removed the org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SVGDOMImplementation class, whereas this class is present in 1.7.

Yet the Batik site itself provides examples using this class.

So what's the story here?

I ask as I am trying to move to Batik 1.8, but we have a class which is using SVGDOMImplementation (for its SVG_NAMESPACE_URI constant and its getDOMImplementation() method) and thus cannot currently move to 1.8.

I am mystified as to how I am supposed to be able to move to 1.8 -- and why this API change is not clearly noted in the release notes.
