How to know, whether HiDPI is supported?

Hey..

with some of the Retina work appearing in 1.7.0_60, what is the recommended way for the developer to find out, whether images are/can be scaled, i.e., whether we are dealing with a HiDPI display.

In the past, on the Apple JVM, we used:

	final Float scaleFactor = (Float) Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getDesktopProperty("apple.awt.contentScaleFactor");

Is there an equivalent?

I very much appreciate that you are pushing some of the work down to 1.7.0_60. Can you say what parts should now/soon work and how to use them?

Thank you,
