java - Swing and bitmaps on retina displays

Question

I've got a Java desktop app that works, amongst other, on OS X.

Now the new MacBook Pro has a retina display and I'm concerned: how is it going to work regarding Swing?

What about when a Java app uses both Swing components and some bitmap graphics (like custom icons / ImageIcon)?

Shall all desktop Java apps be automatically resized (for example by quadrupling every pixel) or am I going to need to create two versions of my icons set (for example one with 24x24 icons and the other with 96x96 icons) and somehow determine that the app is running on a retina display?

Answer 1

Use IconLoader library. It supports HiDPI images http://bulenkov.com/iconloader/ It also provides a way to work with HiDPI images (drawing, etc)
