Chet Haase, in his marvelous article on sorting through the image management mess in the JDK (http://weblogs.java.net/blog/chet/archive/2003/08/bufferedimage_a_1.html), mentions that in the then-upcoming releases of the JDK image acceleration was scheduled to be applied to BufferedImages created by either the ImageIO calls or "new BufferedImage()" calls.
Does anyone know if this is the case? Are new BufferedImages created by either of these means managed in JDK 6 in the same way that BufferedImages created by GraphicsConfiguration.createCompatibleImage() are managed? I would really like this because at the moment to ensure a managed BufferedImage I have to load the "real" image and then laboriously copy it into a GraphicsConfiguration.createCompatibleImage() image. Thanks for any information and for all the help I've received so far.
