[JAVA2D] How do I install the 1.6 beta as my browser plugin?

2007-10-10 Thread Ken Warner

Hi,

I downloaded jre-6u5-ea-bin-b04-windows-i586-27_sep_2007.jar to try D3D 
acceleration.  When I install it, there is no installation as browser plugin.

I imagine this is intentional.  Is there a way to force it to be a browser 
plugin?

I would like to see real world performance in the browser.

I tried jre-6u5-ea-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe and that gives me about a three time 
performance boost in general computation and about a 1/3'd performance boos in 
drawing.

I'd like to compare the beta in the same environment.

[JAVA2D] How do I run my applet in the 1.6 beta?

2007-10-10 Thread Ken Warner

There's no applet viewer and I didn't put a static main() in my applet.

  it should have been installed. However, there were some issues with that
  build, see

 I downloaded jre-6u5-ea-bin-b04-windows-i586-27_sep_2007.jar

SFAIK this is just a self-extracting jar file that dumps
the files on disk - its not an installer.
You must use one of the installer downloads - eg the .exe download

Re: [JAVA2D] How do I install the 1.6 beta as my browser plugin?

2007-10-10 Thread Ken Warner

Ok, massive confusion and loss of brain cells

I have installed:

Java Plug-in 1.6.0_05-ea

I don't have a particular need to diddle with the registry right now as 
outlined in the forum pointed to in Dmitri's last post.

I get a pretty good boost in performance with 1.6.0_05-ea.  But there is no D3D 
acceleration in this release -- right?

D3D is only in ...05-ea-b04 -- right?

So I'll wait to test D3D acceleration in my applet when the install is more 
straight forward.

In the mean time, all you guys can use my applet as a standard comparison test 
-- if you want.

It prints out times for a computational task and a painting task in the console.

Here's some results I got on an 800 mhz machine with an old GeForce 2 video 
card.

First, nothing to do with Java2D.

Second, jusched.exe is Java Update Scheduler. It is a process that checks for 
automatic updates to the installed JDK / JRE. You can configure it (including 
disable) in the control panel of the Java tray icon.

2007-10-10 Thread Olivier Lefevre
Don't be ridiculous: it's not spyware: it's the Java Update
program checking for a new version. If you don't like it you
can either block it in the firewall like you do or maybe even
just delete it.

I heard that it may also be removed maybe in 6uN, in favour of a
system that does the check sometime when you are running plug-in
or webstart. It was also suggested that such tools be named more
clearly like JavaUpdateScheduler.exe so people have a better
clue what they do.
