The inclusion of the 'xerces_2_5_0.jar' file is causing problems. Many
of those classes are included in Java 8, and somehow the ones in the
included jar file are incompatible. I tried running a NASA WorldWind
demo using Java 8, and received a AbstractMethodError when some of the
WorldWind code tried to call DocumentBuilderFactory::setFeature().
That version of Xerces is pretty old anyway (> 10 years). Especially
since the "org.apache.xerces.jaxp" classes are included in "rt.jar" in
Java 8, the 'xerces_2_5_0.jar' should be omitted from the distribution,
or, at least, add a note in the README that the 'batik' code shouldn't
be used with Java 8.
