To enable system wide swing antialiasing from inside Java program

[Daniel Polansky]

Since Java 1.5.0 it is possible to enable system wide swing
antialiasing by using the command line option

javaw -Dswing.aatext=true ...

I have tried to achieve the same from inside the Java application,
upon user demand, by

System.setProperty("swing.aatext","true");

without any success. Is there a working way to do that? Thanks.

Hi,

You have to set the property early on, before any SWING code has
executed. Otherwise it will not have any effect.
