What is the smallest Java SVG engine (least/smallest jars) that actually works? If your answer is Batik, what is the minimal dep. graph for getting this to work in a simple Java application?

I've looked at the dependency graph on the Batik site, but it looks like a typical Apache mess. Are there better alternatives?

SVG Salamander claims to be much smaller thank Batik. It's hard not to believe them. Whether it's as full featured, I can't say, but a co-worker said good things about it.
