Hi all I'd like to return to an old thread - http://argouml.markmail.org/thread/dnjazv53pp24yjgf
It has been pointed out that GEF could be improved as it stands (without batik) for better Java2d support but nobody is doing this. As I'm sure you're aware I'm already fairly busy concentrating on UML2 functionality. If we use Batik it will add some amount of extra jar files to the ArgoUML download but it will leave less code to be maintained in GEF, remove any effort to fix SVGWriter in GEF and allow all the complex code in GEF that tries to allow the ancient Graphics class to be removed. >From there we may be able to make use of sexier looking fill gradients in Figs and plan for a better mechanism to use for line widths, If someone says that they definitely will fix GEF to make it entirely Graphics2D friendly then fine I won't bother with batik. However if that is distracting anyone from UML2 then that is not really a good thing either. I still think we ought to just go for Apache Batik and then we can concentrate on other improvements relevant to UML.
