@Matvey,

Please note that there was a discussion in last few days on Debian java mailing 
list about what is the right approach to get orig.tar.gz i.e. whether to strip 
prebuild jar library files when packaging orig.tar.gz.
I was recommended to keep orig.tar.gz as close as possible to upstream and 
hence use clean target in debian/rules to remove prebuilt jar files. But Debian 
guys seem to have different opinion.

Also Emmet Hikory (persia), suggested that the svn export currently done
from fop svn to get source of pdf transcoder library should go as a
patch instead of in orig.tar.gz. We have not reached any decision in
this aspect also.

So better to have discussion so that package will be adopted with as
much less hassles as possible in Debian.

About using openjdk vs Sun JDK.
Batik uses Sun specific apis (sun.*) for JPEG and TIFF transcoding. I remember 
seeing a discussion on some bug in Debian BTS that it can be patched to use the 
java* apis. I haven't actually tried this yet as the aim was to get a working 
package first.
Openjdk is not going to help anyway as it would surely not contain these apis.

If batik works with non Sun specific apis then nothing better than that
as we can even use GCJ.
