This is a capture of the original Java2D Graphics Layers Framework developed by Vincent Hardy and published in 1999 at java.sun.com.
The project has been restructured as a Maven project to build jphsd-glf.jar and uses version 1.8 of Java. Given the age of the code, copious compilation warnings are generated.
Where changes were required to allow compilation, the original source file is preserved with a .orig extension. The primary issue was the dependency on the old Sun JPEG codec, since replaced with the ImageIO class.
The three original demos are provided and can be run (once the source has been compiled) thus:
$ java -cp target/jphsd-glf-1.0.jar com.sun.glf.util.CompositionStudio com.sun.glf.snippets.HelloLayers
$ java -cp target/jphsd-glf-1.0.jar com.sun.glf.util.CompositionStudio res/com/sun/glf/beans/GLFWebDemoOne.ser.txt
$ java -Dcom.sun.glf.getAllFonts=true -cp target/jphsd-glf-1.0.jar com.sun.glf.util.CompositionStudio ./res/com/sun/glf/beans/GLFWebDemoTwo.ser.txt
See the original readme.txt for more details.
