Mac OS X 10.5 - Java 2D pipeline

Mac OS X, Java No Comments »

I came across this post when doing some fiddling with the “Overview” panel used by PAT.

The basic problem is that there is a bug in the drawImage() method call leading to very poor performance on 10.5.  The post above provides some help until the bug is fixed.

Mac OS X - Java 6 :-(

Many of us have been waiting patiently (or not) for Apple to release Java 6. With 10.5 we thought perhaps this would happen. Apparently Java 6 is still AWOL.

What is the holdup on this?

build.xml

Java, Ant, Eclipse No Comments »

I found a bug in my build.xml script. I let Eclipse compile all my source with the exception of Version.java which is dynamically built by Ant and then compiled before I generate the project JAR file. The problem is that even though my Eclipse project settings were set to 5.0, I didn’t set the target in the javac task in the build file. This resulted in a Bad Version Number error if I built the project on a machine where Java 6 was the default.
