Would you like to ask the Batik developers if their library can 
be made smaller?

Thanks for searching!

As for your suggestions:
Options 2, 3 and 4 are native libraries. They only work on a
limited set of platforms. We aim that Jarp remains "pure"
Java (that means no .DLL or .SO dependency).

Option 1 is Java, but the library is about 2.7 MB (correct
me if I am wrong). This would triple the current size of
Jarp. I think that the feature gain is not worth the size
increase.

Again, if I am mistaken, please correct me. I really would
like to support as many file formats as possible.

Does this software fit into your infrastructure?
1. http://xml.apache.org/batik/
2. http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/
3. http://svg.kde.org/
4. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/

We looked after SVG a while ago and couldn't find any
GPL/LGPL libraries that implemented SVG.
If you know of any that does, please let us know and we can
try to figure out a way of incorporating it.
(Please keep in mind that we are trying to keep the
application size small - that means no 10MB libraries) :)
