Java page flipping not supported on Mac OS?

Question

I\'m hoping someone happens to have stumbled upon the following issue before.

My Java application has graphics performance issues on Mac, so I made a simple test applica

Answer 1

The bad news: I get the same result on the same Mac OS X configuration. The good news: isAccelerated() is true.

System.out.println("BufferStrategy accelerated? " + bufferStrategy
    .getCapabilities().getFrontBufferCapabilities().isAccelerated());

Instead of Canvas and BufferStrategy, I just use new JPanel(true).

Addendum: For example,

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.util.Random;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.Timer;

public class NewTest extends JPanel implements ActionListener, Runnable {

    private Random r = new Random();
    private Timer t = new Timer(10, this);

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new NewTest());
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        JFrame f = new JFrame("NewTest");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.add(this);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
        t.start();
    }

    public NewTest() {
        super(true);
        this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(640, 480));
    }

    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        int width = this.getWidth();
        int height = this.getHeight();
        g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
        g.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
        g.setColor(Color.RED);
        g.drawLine(r.nextInt(width), r.nextInt(height),
            r.nextInt(width), r.nextInt(height));

    }

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        this.repaint();
    }
}

On Linux this happens when I set command line parameter -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true So it may be worth a try to do the opposite -Dsun.java2d.opengl=false
