<Swing Dev> <AWT Dev> EA8 build of Project Lanai (Java 2D Metal rendering pipeline for macOS) is now posted

[Hendrik Schreiber]

Hi,

For what it’s worth: I have tried this build with metal enabled on a complex Swing application (beaTunes) and wasn’t able to spot any differences.

Great work!

However, after I shut down beaTunes, IDEA wasn’t repainting correctly anymore (see attached screenshot). Note that IDEA was NOT running on the EA8 build. So I am guessing some system resources may not have been freed the way they are supposed to be freed. This was on macOS 10.15.7.

Cheers,

-hendrik
