Plugins

Java Runtime Environment version 1.6, update 10

It is generally advisable to use the current Sun Java release. Only the Java Runtime (JRE) component is required, though installing midsize or deluxe soundbanks may improve the sound quality.

It is possible to tweak the Java settings in some installations. Significant tweaks include:

Java2d.ddscale

Can be selected to enable hardware scaling under the directdraw pipeling - default is off, as some driver implementations may not scale with acceptable quality.

Java2d.opengl

Can be used to enable a highly optimized OpenGl rendering pipeline, though with some graphics cards, this results in incorrect colours.
