Re: Activating anti-aliasing in Swing

> java -Dswing.aatext=true Main

Thank you for your suggestion. The JVM is accepting -Dswing.aatext=true
as a valid option, however, it does not appear to do anything, all my
Swing components still render the same. Also, from what Bill said, it
seems like it's not something to use in production code.

At the moment I'm having to override paintComponent for every Swing
component I use to get anti-aliasing working:

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);
super.paintComponent(g2d);
}

Is this really the only way to get anti-aliasing in Swing at the moment
(using 1.4.2), or is there a more elegant way that someone knows of?

Thanks, Jonck
