Title:
  No support for HDPI/retina displays in Java 7/8

Status in openjdk-7 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have Ubuntu Wily 15.10 installed on a MBP retina and Java GUI apps
  (sadly all too common in research fields) are not scaled up to cope
  with the high pixel density, and so are displayed with unreadable
  fonts, icons, etc, which make them unusable.

  This is the case for both the OpenJDK 7 and 8 runtimes.
