Keiron, I just commited a fix to address your issue. Now, if you specify the java.security.policy property to point to your policy file, then it will take precedence over the one used by the default packaging.
java -jar batik-all.jar -Djava.security.policy=<myPolicyFileURL> .... Note that if your policy file uses properties (as the ones in the default packaging), you'll also need to specify these properties through the command line. java -jar batik-all.jar -Djava.security.policy=<....> -Dapp.jar.base=<...> ... In case you are not familiar with the security features, you can use the security debug option to make sure the policy files are loaded properly. Do: java -Djava.security.debug=help to get a list of possible debug info. Cheers, V. > Keiron, > > Keiron Liddle wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > Thanks for the great work you have been doing.
