You need JMF installed. It's used for sound playback and (in CVS) video inside the SVG Editor. In CVS, at least, these are Batik extensions.
Also, the alpha1 build is /really/ old and probably not of much value anymore (nothing compared to the stuff in CVS, anyway). I should probably package up a "last build" of this, to make it easy for people to check out... - Bibek On Thu, Apr 01, 2004 at 09:37:13AM -0500, ananth balasubramanyam wrote: > > hi, > > I really like the idea of having an SVG editor.
