The Jar files in this directory start the same application as in the parent directory, except they include the Batik Extensions on the jar file class path. This means that that the Batik Extensions will work with the applications started by these jar files. Great care should be used when using the Batik Extensions as these are not part of the SVG standard. If you write content that uses these extensions you must be aware that this is not conformant SVG content and other SVG renderers will not render these documents. These extensions should only be used in content used in closed systems. The primary purpose of these extensions is demonstrative and to generate feedback to the development of the SVG standard.
