Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Problems with Batik 1.9.1 packaging for Photon - might need to revert to previous versions
|
Hey!
Thanks for the quick update. I must admit that I am quite worried about this.
Shipping the final version of Orbit for Photon with a version of Batik that people should avoid using and can cause severe issues when installed sounds really really bad.
I am sure somehow this version of Batik will end up in some user installations of Eclipse. It is hard to avoid this for every user installation that will be out there. We suffered from similar issues in the past when working on the Spring Tool Suite and those are not fun to debug or to solve in user installations in the wild.
Any chance to get this solved for the Photon release or is this issue not as severe as it sounds to me?
Cheers,
-Martin
