Possible solution:
 - Declare repository providing the artifact, see the documentation at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html

Please either rename the archive or update the migration instructions with a suggestion to rename the archive (to svgrasterizer).

All that the batik-rasterizer module provides is a useless, obsolete policy file that no other module uses (svgrasterizer has its own). No Java code at all. And if you look into that policy file, it is all-permission except for a js.jar file that is not being built and does not exist. A nice example of code rot.

That's why I removed it. Then,

From point 5) in MIGRATING_FROM_BATIK:

The generic rasterizer module (and related files) was removed

So it is already documented.

My questions: Why are you using it? Are you sure that you are actually making any use of a policy file that does not work?

I do not think that you need either rasterizer nor svgrasterizer. I'd suggest removing that dependency from your build and let's move on.

I'm putting the rasterizer word in code font style in MIGRATING_FROM_BATIK so it is easier to parse.

Weird. I thought I had a compile error because it couldn't be found. I've since removed it and the build succeeds.
