I just wanted to clarify. I noticed that improvements were made to
double buffering in Java 6 (true double buffering is now used) as
discussed here:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/javase6/.
However, I heard someone mention that double buffering is now on by
default on all components in Java 6. Is this second statement true?
No. Although it appears that you can turn it on.
