2D issues driving me nuts

Java 2D
#1

I have some experience in Java2D and I was quite happy using it most of the time until…

…Mac OSX came along :-/

Especially the behaviour of my PaintContext implementations is totally weird. Bigger areas than I ask for are being filled, and the whole filling looks crap.

And the best thing: It all worked with Mac OS X 10.0 (even there it was a lot of work to get it done), but with 10.2 it all became really bad. Both use JRE 1.3.1

Did anybody go a bit deeper into these Mac issues? Do you have any advice? I am really about to drop Mac support if I cannot find a solution soon…

I’m no expert on Apple’s implementation, but from what I understand, they’ve enabled hardware acceleration (OpenGL pipeline) in 10.2 by default. May be there’s a way to disable it via flag?

Thanks, that’s an interesting hint. I will take a look at that.
