setting sun.java2d.noddraw for applets

Java 2D
#1

That doesn’t seem possible : http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6260751

Unfortunately, my game runs as an applet and suffers from frequent freeze when this flag is not set (the game uses the JOGLAppletLauncher).

Is there a java2d guru out there that could propose a better workaround than requesting the user to access its java control panel ?

its not possible since teh awt classes are loaded before your applet is.

The only idea I know would be to load an applet before your game loads which is signed and changes the registry (or where the control-panel values are stored) itself instead of relying on the JavaCOntrolPanel.

Even if you put the property change in a static {…} block within the Applet class?

Code in a static block will be executed before the Applet is constructed - so theoretically, it will execute before the AWT subsystem is initialised (and the noddraw property is read.)

I can’t imagine this idea will work - or someone else would have suggested it already :wink:

#4

Unfortunately it won’t work. The awt/2d subsystem will be initialized prior to
Applet creation.

At this point there’s no way to disable ddraw other than having user
to add the property in the control panel.

Thanks,
