Batik framework for animated graphical application? E.g. in Eclipse?

[Hauke Fuhrmann <ha...@informatik.uni-kiel.de>]

Hi everybody,

I want to write an Eclipse Plugin with a graphical Editor which is
zoomable and has smooth animations with a good performance.

I have used the batik SVG framework in some other context, but I'm not
sure if it is suitable as a graphics framework for this task.
Has anyone experience in employing Piccolo for
Eclipse plugins or other kinds of animated applications?

Are there any benchmarks for batik available to compare it to other Java
graphics frameworks?

How does it compare to Eclipse's standard GEF/Draw2D framework? I
understand Draw2D does not support animations, but might be really fast,
because it is implemented in SWT which itself relies on OS features and
not on the Java2D engine.

Best regards,
Hauke
