System requirements

Batik requires the following to be already installed in your system:

Java Runtime Environment

A Java 1.3 or above compatible runtime environment must be present. Note that to support the following features a Java 1.4 or above JRE is required:

SVG 1.2 mouse wheel events

***************************************

According to the official installation notes, java-runtime=7 should be okay, why not keep java-runtime=6?

jre7-openjdk seems satisfied java-runtime=6 requirement, but jre in AUR is not.
This task depends upon

Can't make any sense of your bugreport, but I guess java-runtime=6 so that it supports both jre7 and jre6

No, java-batik set requirement to java-runtime=6, but after I install jre in AUR or jre7-openjdk, it says "missing dependency for java-batik : java-runtime=6", so, why still keep the dependency to java-runtime=6?

Installed fop since it deps on this package and it seems to work for me with opendjk6

Any java pkg should depend only on "java-runtime" to let the user the choice which to pick.

Only if it won't work with some jre branch you should hardcode the version that works.

It didn't build with any newer version when I updated the package -- I mentioned that in the commit message [1].

techlive: Did you actually try removing the version part and recompiling it in a chroot?

I just tried again -- java-batik still isn't Java 7-compliant. Check  FS#28705  for details.

I think now it is; I haven't had any problems building it on jdk7-openjdk here (though I haven't tried it with headless-only).
