In the documentation for batik, it shows how to get an instance of the DOM implementation from the class org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SVGDOMImplementation.

However, after downloading Batik 1.8 from the same site, I cannot find this class anywhere.

I downloaded the 1.7 version and found it in batik-svg-dom.jar but it does not exist in the same jar within 1.8 (or as far as I can tell in any of the jars in that package).

Has this class been renamed / refactored / replaced? If so how do you get an instance of the DOM implementation in batik 1.8?

I found the answer, embedded in the maillist thread posted in @Ajay's answer.

It seems that in order to solve this bug, they have moved SVGDOMImplementation into package org.apache.batik.anim.dom, which lives in the jar file batik-anim-1.8.jar.

As at the time of writing, the batik web site had not yet been updated, and for some reason this change was also not highlighted in the release notes.
