Usually it lags the Sun release by around a year, it is shipped with the 
OS.  I will also point out that the Java implementation on Mac is 
considerably more intergrated then usual (the Swing containers recognize 
that that OS double buffers and make use of this fact, common libraries 
are loaded once and shared between JVMs to reduce startup time and so 
on...). Basically they use that extra time to do a darn fine job.

So Jesse does this leave us with the holongate native bliting as our 
only option (or even worse a nested for loop). I don't really want to 
start writing to the Eclipse image directly.
