I know that twe means, as I discovered what Chris posted in the hard way (by trial and error) - I'm happy for his article since now I'm sure that what I'm doing is (mostly ;-) right. And when I talk with other people working on the same stuff, I find that they did the hard way too.
In any case, better late than never and we should be happy that Sun is starting to post this information. I hope that Chris' post is just the first in a row as there are many other points in imaging that need clarification (just to cite a point: color profile conversion and quality).
Nevertheless, I think that Sun contribution, while fundalmental, is not enough. For instance, in some cases drawImage() is not the fastest way to work with the Apple Java implementation. This makes sense since JVMs by different manufacturers are likely to perform differently.
This means that we should have a community-based place to discuss and share information that is not only Sun-specific and that can be a valid complement to Sun posts. Together with some friends we're working on a proposal that we should publish soon.
