Where to find the list of -Dsun.java2d flags?

Java 2D
#1

Hello,

I browsed a lot of web pages on java.sun.com but I didn’t find a complete list of sun.java2d flags.

Anyone knows where they are listed?

Thanks

A somewhat complete list of flags can be found in this article:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/2D/perf_graphics.html

Ok but why the sun.java2d.d3d isn’t mentionned? Are there other undocumented flags like this one?

Thanks

The d3d flag is documented, just not on that page. Check out
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/relnotes.html
Yes, reading the release notes can sometimes be useful =)

There’s a bunch of undocumented flags, but we generally don’t encourage people to use them because most of them are unsupported and can go away at any release, so we can’t have people rely on them.

But they’re quite useful for debugging purposes, so we’re thinking about having them documented, or even have an ability to list them all at runtime if asked. Say,
java -Dsun.java2d.flags=list
would print all the flags and their descriptions.

Would something like that be useful?
We’re currently planning on adding this in our next major release (which won’t be available any soon, unfortunately).

Thanks trembovetski!

I’ve partially read the release notes so that’s why I didn’t see it.

Yes it would be very usefull to have the flag that list all the sun.java2d flags.
