Its last usage was eliminated by [JDK-6725214](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDk-6725214) ("D3D: forward-port the new pipeline from 6u10"), see [commit](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/e4c9db984fe1a3a9d06fb60e333e92df3b165454#diff-c27da1eb4bdc7e69158f38ab3e7a1aa02b074c131c18ad15d04d0f88f169febeL319).

> How to use: Setting this flag to true enables hardware-accelerated scaling if the DirectDraw/Direct3D pipeline is in use. DirectDraw/Direct3D hardware scaling is disabled by default to avoid rendering artifacts in existing applications. These rendering artifacts are caused by possible inconsistencies between the scale method that the software scaling operation uses (nearest neighbor) and the different scale methods that video cards use. Certain events that occur while an application is running might cause a scaled image to be rendered partially with hardware scaling operations and partially with software scaling operations, resulting in an inconsistent appearance. For now, you can enable acceleration by setting the ddscale flag to true.
