Developers: I am currently working on an application that is utilizing Batik Rasterizer for exporting our graphic data. I have noticed that a module used for JPEG exporting (specifically JPEGImageWriter in package org.apache.batik.ext.awt.image.codec.jpeg) uses Sun's proprietary packages com.sun.*.
In most cases, this seems fine. However, in a recent revision of OpenJDK shipped on Ubuntu systems, they have updated some interfaces to now be classes. Since Sun has the disclaimer that they are allowed to change code located in these packages without warning, we are at the mercy of what they choose to do. I would like to submit a patch, rewriting the module to use java.* and javax.* instead of com.sun*, assuming the process hasn't already been started by someone else. Please reply at your earliest convenience and let me know if this is still a maintained application, and what process you have for patch submissions.
