Re: [nebula-dev] Question about licences & packaging
|
IMHO the worst thing are half-backed solutions who prentend they can do
something and then fail in many cases - SVG is a very very very complex
specification who looks very innocent but is so feature rich (including
CSS, complex blend modes, ...), there's a reason batik is soo huge.
A good example what happens if you pretend you implement a standard is
e4-css, this is not CSS as it does not support anything beside the most
trivial parts of CSS leading frustration (at least I was when I used it).
Anyways I'm not doing the work and the ones who do the work have the
choice ;-)

Hi Tom,
I've nothing against Batik, but I think it is too heavy and "rich" for
our requirements (display a SVG Image).
