[8u-dev] Request for approval: 8158178 java.awt.SplashScreen.getSize() returns incorrect size for high dpi splash screens

[Alexander Scherbatiy]

Hello,

Could you approve the fix to JDK 8u-dev:
   JDK-8158178 java.awt.SplashScreen.getSize() returns incorrect size 
for high dpi splash screens

The bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8158178
The webrev: 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alexsch/robin.stevens/8158178/jdk8/webrev.00
The review thread: 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/awt-dev/2016-May/011394.html

This fix has been integrated into JDK 9 as part of the fix:
   JDK-8145174 HiDPI splash screen support on Linux
   http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/rev/e3fd20ff65cd

The whole JDK-8145174 fix is not supposed to be backported to the JDK 
8u-dev because JDK 8u-dev does not include HiDPI graphics support for Linux.
The solution is to backport only the part which affects HiDPI splash 
screen support on Mac OS X.

Thanks,
Alexandr.
