As far as I can tell, the conversion programs were working fine with
java2 runtimes (gij, a few years ago). However, the graphical
interface didn't work (I'm not even sure they work properly with
openjdk 6 or 7). I'm unsure splitting out is a good idea at this
point, since some programs may depend on libbatik-java to provide
rasterize: changing that too close from the freeze isn't a good
idea...
