Oracle removed the support for those classes in 1.7. > [javac] > C:\Projects\ApacheFlex\Development\ApacheFlex_RC3\apache-flex-sdk-4. > 8.0-incubating-src\modules\thirdparty\batik\sources\org\apache\flex\forks\batik\ > svggen\ImageHandlerJPEGEncoder.java:29: error: package > com.sun.image.codec.jpeg > does not exist > [javac] import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGImageEncoder; > [javac] ^ The Batik project is working on removing use of com.sun packages. See: http://batik.2283329.n4.nabble.com/Batik-and-Java-7-non-compliancy-td4221375.html Anyway this is an example about why it is best to try to contribute upstream and use the unaltered project code if possible. The replacement ImageIO classes are fine except for CMYK-JPEG problems. This is something to address, but it should not be a blocker. The project should note somewhere on the DL page that there are build issues with Java 7 and what those are, but it is not a release blocker - IMO.
