Is There A Way To Disable Mac OS Retina Scaling For A Swing App?

Question

We have a rather complex application that needs as much screen real-estate as it can get, naturally the retina display Mac Books are excellent for this purpose.

Answer 1

To my knowledge this is not possible as of JDK 1.8. The only workaround is to detect retina and use the scale affine transform when drawing. However, detecting retina seems to be a problem since the only option that seems to be available isn't on a per monitor case which is probably not a good solution: How can I detect whether a Mac has a Retina display from Java?
