It was discussed in JDK-XXXXXXX, but since support of HiDPI was introduced it is return something different: «the size of the virtual screen in pixels divide by the scale factor of the main screen». So right now the result of this method does not match to the virtual screen size in the users space, it also does not match the size of the virtual screen in pixels, and also does not match to the size of the main screen.
