Creating a forms application with hardware acceleration

Do any of javax.awt, javax.swing or windows forms components support hardware acceleration? Is WPF the only way to use hardware acceleration on a forms application, what would be the best alternative for WPF?

You have to use a modern framework so as to enjoy hardware acceleration. WPF/Silverlight is the solution from Microsoft, but they are for .NET only. You can check other vendors' solutions, such as Embarcadero's FireMonkey.

AWT, Swing, WinForms are too old to support that. But due to the rise of HTML 5, web applications get hardware acceleration easier and earlier than most desktop apps, because web browsers such as Internet Explorer/Firefox/Google Chrome already support it.
