Alexandr,

I've noticed that the MultiResolutionToolkitImage only supports a high and regular resolution image, but not an arbitrary number of images like most (all?) of the other classes/interfaces.

Given, that when you create a native application in XCode 6.2 today, you already include @2x and @3x image variants and that Apple apparently plans on shipping 8k monitors soon (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/06/lg-display-imac-8k/), restricting ourselves to just two variants seems to make this code out-of-date before JDK9 ships.

Therefore, I'd like to suggest that we support an arbitrary number of resolutions variants in Toolkit images. I guess the OS X naming convention for this is self-explanatory. Not sure about Windows.

Cheers,

-hendrik

PS: java.desktop/macosx/native/libsplashscreen/splashscreen_sys.m would have to be adjusted to support @3x (or other variants) as well.
