Description Jessica 2012-01-05 15:25:19 UTC 
When we switched our project to maven, we started seeing a null pointer exception coming from the JPEGTranscoder, line 89.  The exception happens because the  singleton org.apache.batik.ext.awt.image.spi.ImageWriterRegistry instance does not have any ImageWriters registered so null is returned instead of a JPEGImageWriter instance.  

Looking at the code for the ImageWriterRegistry class, I think there should be a file called "org.apache.batik.ext.awt.image.spi.ImageWriter" inside of META-INF/services/ in the distributed jar which lists the image writers to register during setup.  However, there is no such file in the batik-awt-util-1.7.jar.

I do see a file in xmlgraphics-commons jar for the org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.writer.ImageWriter class, but the JPEGTranscoder doesn't use the registry from that package.
