The high-level view is here:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/commons/
This actually already covers most of the classes from Batik. The
ImageWriter stuff has received some extensions to handle multi-page
formats. FOP uses that for producing multi-page TIFFs using the
ImageWriter abstraction.
The classes in util.io from Batik are only the Base64 classes, the rest
is from FOP. Service is a merge from the Batik and FOP versions
preserving each other's functionality.

Changes are listed here: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/commons/changes.html
(missing an entry for the XMP stuff)

Last sync with Batik was in April:
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs?rev=3D390643&view=3Drev  (includes revision
numbers)
I'll see if I can do another round of merging on Sunday. If you're first,
that's ok, too. :-)

To answer your question about which classes are to be used by Batik:
Basically those, that were ported from Batik to Commons. Furthermore,
when we've moved the PDF library and the font classes (after the 1.1
release), we can finally move the Transcoders to Batik and Batik will
use the font and PDF code from Commons from that point on.

Do you need anything else?
