Description Daniel Ford CLA 2007-02-28 21:37:48 EST 
We can leverage a more efficient graphics engine for better performance.
Comment 1 John Thomas CLA 2007-03-13 10:37:24 EDT 
But don't forget that we need a visualization that does not require OpenGL
Many computers do not support OpenGL.  In my case, of the 4 computers that I have, only 2 support OpenGL and 1 of those needed new drivers installed to get it to work. 
However, based on a demo that we say at EclipseCon,  it is not that hard to implement OpenGL as a replacement to draw2d and the result is impressive.

lowered priority

We're not going use OpenGL for the MapView.  We'll stick with Java 2D as that gives us a basic visualization that has few platform restrictions.
