Can you recommend a free, open source, drawing application, like Inkscape, but written in Java based on the Apache batik code library?

A:
The Batik homepage has a list of projects using Batik, which, among others, lists:
- Sketsa is a vector drawing application based on Batik. With Sketsa, you can create vector graphics that can be scaled and printed at any resolution, without losing detail or clarity.
It seems to be the only such application, but not open-source, though.

Sketsa looks promising - and affordable, though I would prefer something for free, but folks do need rewarding and bills paid for their hard work, don't they? I will look into this further to see if it is possible to extend the application with 3rd-party plug-in code. I will also look on sourceforge.net I've +1 upped your answer. Thanks.

I will take a look at it too. You can try it for free anyway and I only just learned about it. Java is a deterrent but editing SVGs can only become better than Inkscape handles it. I resorted to hand-writing the code and only use Inkscape in emergency situations.

I've accepted this answer because it gives me leads to explore: Sketsa and the projects using Batik link. If there are any such Java-based SVG programs out there, then they will likely be on the batik pages.

I tried out Sketsa by now and for my purposes it pretty much sucks the same as Inkscape. Sadly.
