[Bug classpath/27669] New: Jmol's AWT backend gives grey window

[egon dot willighagen at gmail dot com]

If Jmol 10.2 is started with:

  cacao -Djava.version=1.1 -jar Jmol.jar

then it shows a grey screen. Somewhere last autumn I spoke with someone on
#classpath about this, and he thought it could be caused by the fact that Jmol
assumes a RGB feature, while Classpath returns a RGBA, in effect incorrectly
setting the transparency, giving the grey output. I do remember trying some
workarounds for that, but it never worked.

The involved Jmol code looks like:

ColorModel colorModelRGB;
  ImageConsumer ic;

  Awt3D(Component component) {
    this.component = component;
    colorModelRGB = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getColorModel();
  }

See:

http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/jmol/branches/v10_2/Jmol/src/org/jmol/g3d/Awt3D.java?view=log

If the java.version parameter is not given, Jmol uses a Swing backend, which
works properly. The Sun JVM works properly in AWT mode, so there seems to be
some incompatibility.
