I did not yet recieve a reply to my question bellow. I wonder: Does Java2D and ImageIO work on Unix without an X Server installed, e.g. in a server environment or on OS X? If so: How do I need to compile? And what is the situation on Windows? I read somewhere that ImageIO by default is based on ImageMagick. Is this mature, does it work well? I hope someone can answer these questions or point me to another list where I can find out more. BTW: I'm using classpath together with GCJ.
