This is funny when I worked on the 1.02 JDK port to NextStep I wrote a driver
that
allowed you to do DPS calles from Java. I felt it was th "way to go" Looks
like Sun
is moving in that direction. I suspect this is for Graphics2D support.
The driver is Mach based so not that useful. But if Sun is using DPS then
tak a look at
gnustep http://www.gnustep.org They have a free DPS engine on X.
I'm waiting for the Community license.
