Ah, I was fooled by the package name indeed. Thanks for spotting that Jan. I'm not sure there's a process for that, but shouldn't the batik folks be warned not to use (usurp) Ant's package names? --DD

Changing the package name is difficult for BWC reasons, but a hint would
be helpful.
I wont force anyone not to use "our" package, but you should think about
the sense.

I would prefer <projectPackageName>.ant as package for Ant-specifica.
So this would be something like org.apache.batik.ant.RasterizerTask
instead of
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.RasterizerTask.

Should we ping the batik mailing list with a short summary and the link
to this thread?

yes, the best thing would be to

-move the task to a new package
-with an antlib (we can offer to help there)
-in the documentation, use the new task/antlib
-extend the new task with one at the old location, so existing taskdefs and subclassings do not break.
-(optionally) mark that as deprecated
