Use optionally sun.awt.* properties

[Alejandro Vilar <al...@synacom.com.bo>]

Hi,

                In the DisplayHost class constructor there is a piece of
code as follows:

 

     try {

                System.setProperty("sun.awt.noerasebackground", "true");

                System.setProperty("sun.awt.erasebackgroundonresize",
"true");

            } catch (SecurityException exception) {

                // No-op

            }

 

In my environment (windows XP 32bits), resize the main window in a desktop
app produces too much flickering, if I set the
sun.awt.erasebackgroundonresize property to false the resize is smoother.
So my first question is if this behavior could be modified to some like
this:

Try{

      If(!System.getProperties().containsKey("some.property");){

System.setProperty("some.property", "default_value");

      }

}.

 

In that case I will able to change that property before things get
initialized. But I don't know how this properties affects other
environments, so my second question is why this properties are used in that
way? There is a particular reason?

 

Thanks in advance,

Alejandro

This should be set to false. I just checked in a fix. Thank you for catching this.
