======= Java Screen Refresh and pcAnywhere ======= Java Swing-based applications may not redraw properly when accessed via remote terminal utilities such as pcAnywhere. The problem can be fixed by setting the system property ''sun.java2d.noddraw'' to ''true''. java -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true mypackage.myapplication.myclass This will instruct the JVM to bypass DirectDraw. Hopefully allowing the remote terminal to retrieve properly refreshed views of the Java application. //Note that doing so may slow down the application rendering when used locally.//
