When you specify an external library in the configuration of a
project, NB should copy that library into dist/lib when you build the
application.  It should then add a classpath entry to the manifest so
that your application knows to look in lib.  It looks like that has
not happened.

Look in the dist directory and verify that lib/batik-transcoder.jar is
there ((and any other necessary libraries).  then open up the jar file
in winzip or some similar tool and verify that the Manifest has a
classpath entry pointing to lib.

I have had some intermittent problems with NB not properly completing
the process I just described.  If you do these things manually,
however, the jar will execute as expected.

Thanks.
