I’m not doing too much with Java2D anymore, but saw this posted to the Java2D email list and though maybe some folks here might want to check it out:
No screen shots on the site that I saw…
Go to Download -> Tutorials, each tutorial has a little screenshot of what it should look like. The second is the most impressive (out of the two!)
The svg stuff might be interesting… if the license is usable and if the lib is small enough. The batik svg lib for example is perfect, but it’s way too huge (~10mb).
It definitely is costly for commercial projects (most likely $999 for single license). After checking out the tutorial pictures I didn’t see anything exciting either…
The SVG stuff could be cool, but they need some web start demos of it in action…
yeah looked boring to me
