Experience a fast open-source java2D antialiasing rasterizer: Marlin renderer

The Marlin renderer is an open-source Java2D antialiasing renderer based on OpenJDK's Pisces but optimized for best performance, improved accuracy and scalability needed by typical graphical applications (desktop or web-based) like GIS ...

Marlin will be integrated in OpenJDK9 : see JEP 265.

Please try it already with your application (Oracle JDK or OpenJDK supported 7/8) and give us your feedback !
