Is batik squiggle supposed to work?

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

I've been testing batik on and off with Classpath the last year,
hoping it would make it to Debian/main and thus allow the OpenJump
package to make it into Debian/main.  But there are still issues.  But
I am starting to suspect that the problem isn't with Classpath, but
with batik itself, as it fail to run with SUN Java as well.

Is batik supposed to work?  When I use the ./squiggle.sh in the
pkg-java svn, it throws an exception:

% JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.08 ./squiggle.sh
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack location - find_vma failed
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.NetPermission setDefaultAuthenticator)

Is the batik package broken?  Did something change in SUN Java
breaking batik, or did this never work?
