It looks like Batik may solve our SVG problem.  However, the SVGs that Tile Designer outputs are a little strange.

I've committed an example application in /test that will load and display SVG graphics. You may need to fiddle with your .classpath file before it'll work.

The demo app seems to parse Tile Designer's SVGs without complaining, but it doesn't display the graphic. However, any of the sample files distributed in the Batik package work just fine.  I'm not quite sure what the deal is yet, but I'm still looking into it.
