More stupid design strategy decisions by SUN. Who
thinks up these strategies?
And then the rational that is expressed to support those
stupid decisions are next to priceless.
What ever you do -- never listen to the people who actually
try to use Java.
I give up.
And while I know nobody at SUN is interested in the fact that
whole communities are turning to Flash for graphics and think
Java sucks big time. I care! I've got nearly 10 years of
Java programming that nobody wants because they hold Java
in such low regard.

First of all, FYI, b07 is out. It has a couple of
important fixes - it significantly improves performance
of Netbeans (and other applications which use
LCD and grayscale AA text simultaneously) and addresses
issues on Intel chips.

I have an NVida GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro Driver Version 3.15.00.12.00
Running Windows 2000 SP4 and DirectDraw 9.0c -- real old stuff and
yet the most current version of the driver and Java 1.6 is about 3 times
faster than 1.5.
There are two issues here: GF2 does not meet minimum hw requirements
so the pipeline will be disabled. You will need
at least some GeForce FX board (with Shaders 2.0) with
HW Transform and Lighting.
Secondly, starting with b08 the pipeline will only be enabled
on client-class OS (WinXP and newer). Win2K* are classified as
a server-class OS flavor.
The reason for this policy is that typically on servers people
care more about stability than performance, and the drivers
for these systems are lagging behind client OS-es.

It's hard for me to run the beta version to test hardware acceleration.
Have their been any reports about this card failing? When will there be
a 1.6 JRE with hardware acceleration so I can try my work -- it's an
applet.

Thanks!
I have filed bug
6629891: D3D: Rendering artifacts with older driver [Nvidia Quadro
NVS 110M]
to track this issue (will appear on bugs.sun.com soon).
We'll disable the pipeline on drivers older than 6.14.11.5665
(earliest known
to work at this point).
Thanks,
Dmitri
