HiDPI Scaling - OSX vs Windows

Hey Guys,

about half a year ago I filed https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8029087, stating basically that the HiDPI logic on Windows and on OS X is fundamentally different and therefore WORA is violated (don't know what the Linux situation is).

I was wondering whether anybody at Oracle discusses this and what your conclusions are? Or is this being ignored as not important enough?

I'm writing mainly, because a hint in which direction this will go, will help me to write my code accordingly. I would hate having to re-code all retina related stuff with extra workarounds for Windows...

Thanks,

-hendrik
