This is correct.

#1 is because you didn't turn off Swing's offscreen buffer.
So when you call f.paint(svgGenerator) all Swing painted to
our svgGenerator was a bitmap.
As for #2, if the component isn't visible what do you expect
it to paint to our svgGenerator?
You might find batik.svggen.SwingPrettyPrint useful
here. I suspect you still need to do #2 before rendering
the swing component.
