Compiling Batik using J#?

[AWCoats]

I'm really impressed with the SVG rasterizer. We were looking at Adobes AlterCast product (http://www.adobe.com/products/altercast/) to rasterize our SVG maps - but it gets expensive....

 

We are Microsoft shop, and I was just wondering if I could get the SVG Rasterizer to run under .NET as opposed to using the Java VM. I was wondering if anyone had been able to compile Batik using J#. I managed to compile everything under xml-batik\sources\org\w3c and xml-batik\sources\org\ but got the following when trying to compile Batik:

I've also tried using Jbimp.exe - and I get the following:

 

D:\Batik\org>jbimp /target:library /out:batik.dll /recurse xml w3c apache mozilla
/r:bjlib.dll

Please convert all unresolved references and give as reference for successful co
nversion.
Error : Couldn't find class "java.io.FileFilter"
Unresolved class "java.io.FileFilter" is not present in the classpath also.

lter

 

I'm guessing that Microsoft has forgotten to put java.io.FileFilter in bjlib (which seems to contain all the other java.io classes).

Any pointers will be much appreciated.
