There are driver-level incompatibilities between DirectDraw +and OpenGL which manifest themselves as application crashes, poor +performance, bad flickering, and other artifacts. This poor behavior +may exhibit itself when OpenGL and DirectDraw are simply used in the +same application, not even just in the same window, so disabling +Java2D's DirectDraw pipeline and forcing it to use its GDI pipeline is +the only way to work around these issues. Java Web Start applications +may set this system property by adding the following line to the +<CODE><resources></CODE> section of the JNLP file: <PRE> +<property name="sun.java2d.noddraw" value="true"/> </PRE> + +</P> +<P> + +JOGL currently does not interoperate well with the OpenGL pipeline for +Java2D available in JDK 5.0 and later. We will address this in a +future JOGL release and plan to have better interoperability by the +time JDK 6.0 is shipped. </P> |
