As some of you know I posted a request for anti-aliasing some time ago
when it comes to UNIX flavors of jdev. Well, I found an answer, so I
though I would share. You can instruct java with an additional option
to always use anti-aliasing throughout an application. Add the following
to your jdev.conf file (mine is in /usr/jdev/jdev/bin)

AddVMOption -Dswing.aatext=true

and restart jdev.... WOW what a difference.

P.S. I am running Ubuntu 5.04 on an IBM R50. My JDK is 1.5

Unfortunately it does not seem to work under Windows XP.

(Oracle IDE 10.1.2.18.41)

This works on XP also, but only with JDK 1.5.

JDev 10.1.2.x is not certified for JDK 1.5, you should consider upgrading.

FWIW, there was some discussion about turning on antialiasing in various parts of the product in the past. It seems to be a divisive issue. Some people seem to be entrenched in the position that antialiased text == blurry text. Cough... luddites... ;)

When JDeveloper eventually moves on top of Java 6 (which I hope, but don't know for sure will happen for the 11 release), anti-aliasing will be on by default (assuming it's your OS default), and it will be the spiffy new sub-pixel antialiasing Sun implemented for this version of the JDK.

Thanks,
Brian
