[gef-dev] migrating code from Java2D/Swing -> GEF

Hi,
 
I am wondering if following capabilites, which I used in my Swing based graphical editor is available in GEF/draw2d.
 
1. setting rendering hints like, anti-aliasing
2. alpha compositing rules for combining source and destination pixels to achieve blending and transparency effects with graphics and images.
 
I had used two above funtionalites to create engaging visualization experience and cannot undersell by moving to GEF/draw2d. I would be happy even if this functionality is not provided, but is on the roadmap, to be implemented in not too distant future.
 
On a side note, I was wondering why eclipse.org did not use Java's original Graphics and Graphics2D objects, they were windowing toolkit independent ( or are they ? ) and would have essentially created some synergy between two disparate approaches.
 
Thanks,
Bhavesh
