The Differences Between Java Vix and Java Effects

Java Vix was built for historically swing and AWT used immediate mode graphics, which meant essentially every time you draw the frame. With Java effects, you usually work with a scene graph mode,. And then the rendering pipeline renders it when convenient. This is what they are doing and they are more flexible. It gets very complex to build some things that are supposedly trivial to implement. But we made it work reasonably well with the GPU.
