I'd be extremely interested in seeing hardware
acceleration in Java2D (even modest use to begin
with). I think Java3D has been very successful in
implementing their API on top of OpenGL and
DirectX. Tap into some of that work! After doing some
initial development in Java2D (and being very impressed
with the appearance of the results), I've since put
that work on the shelf and gone back to jdk1.1 because
Java2D performance just isn't adequate for my application.
