The new java1.5beta2 has support for using the openGL pipeline to accelerate image manipulations.

Has anyone tried using this? What results did you get?
There is a sample image benchmark in the Developing Games for Java (Brackeen) book. When I try using the command line option, I get an unable to create openGL pipeline error.
Anyone have any more info?
