Swing architect Scott Violet blogs on the death of the infamous Swing gray rectangle. Deskop developers at Sun have been quiet compared to other Sun employee's the last year or so. Let's hope Scott blogs more in the future. It is nice to have a glimpse of what is coming in future releases of Java.
Swing Painting Improvements: No More Gray Rect! In scoping out various performance related projects for mustang we wanted to tackle one of Swing's long standing problem areas that has contributed to bad perceived performance. That is, when a Swing based app is exposed after being hidden by another application there is a noticeable delay between when the background of the window is erased and when the actual contents are painted. We've come to call this the 'gray rect' problem. I'm happy to report that with the promotion of mustang build 32 this bug (4967886) has been fixed! Download it now and give us feedback!
