Yes. batik-all.jar is meant to provide all the things you would ever
need
in Batik. You could use the rasterizer from the batik-rasterizer.jar
file 
which is the expected way to use it.It is not meant as an entry point 
for applications but there is an issue anyway.

The issue your are running into here is that policy files depend on 
packaging and the apps (browser and rasterizer) can work both in
development 
mode (i.e., in the source distribution) or jared mode (i.e., from their 
respective batik-svgbrowser.jar and batik-rasterizer.jar) but until now
in a single packaging configuration.

Short term, if you want the applications to work in a different
packaging 
mode (as from batik-all.jar), you'll have to change the bootstrap class
in
org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.Main (see the RASTERIZER_JAR_NAME
constant) or use batik-all.jar.

What I propose to do to address your need is to initialize
RASTERIZER_JAR_NAME
to the value of the rasterizer.jar.name system property. It will default
to its current value (batik-rasterizer.jar). This way, if you repackage 
the application, you'll be able to point to the jar file you are using
by 
doing something like:

java -Drasterizer.jar.name=batik-all.jar 
           -cp batik-all.jar org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.Main

I'll do that next week.
Cheers,
V.
