How do I fully include the Batik library in my Java project?

I am trying to add the Batik library to my Java project. I added the unzipped binary to my lib folder, and added all of the JARs in the top level to the build path.

However, when I make the following import statement:

import org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SAXSVGDocumentFactory; I get the following error:

"The import org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SAXSVGDocumentFactory cannot be resolved"

Other import statements do not exhibit this problem, such as the following:

import org.apache.batik.util.XMLResourceDescriptor;

As far as I understand, the SAXSVGDocumentFactory class exist somewhere in the binary I added to the lib folder, so the issue must be with adding JARs to the build path. How can I make sure that all of the Batik source files are added to the build path correctly and are usable?

Solution

  • It cannot be resolved because it doesn't present in 1.8 jar. It exists in 1.7. http://www.findjar.com/class/org/apache/batik/dom/svg/SAXSVGDocumentFactory.html

    The easy way to find this out is to find the right jar and click to open it by the package: org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SAXSVGDocumentFactory. You wont see this class in 1.8 jar, but you will see it in 1.7 jar.

    To fix, download a 1.7 jar and add it to your project again. http://apache.mirrors.hoobly.com/xmlgraphics/batik/source/
