hi, I don't know if this helps, but there was a previous discussion about getting a minimal subset of batik: try this search http://koala.ilog.fr/cgi-bin/batik-users-search-grep?rule=ci&target=jars of the archives and take a look at the four messages on the thread "Re: What jars required for SVGGraphics2D". The basic idea is to just load the jars you need. randy

I guess i'll have to remove some classes at the source code level. I downloaded the latest source code and was trying to compile it, but I got a resource descriptor error Can anybody help me how to solve this error, so that i can continue and remove the classes which r not needed. in another words, can anybody tell me how i should use the source code to compile batik and to use it in the custom application. regards, R K --- Jamie Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > R Karthick wrote: > > >I am really stuck in this.
