Description J.F.Lanting

I installed APPLE's JAVA 6 on my MacBook Pro / Retina.
Eclipse 4.3M5a seems to run correctly ([] low resolution unchecked,
text is readable, icons seem small but ok,

but a simple JAVA application shows an icon on a JButton in low resolution:
the test on MSWindows displays a 48x48 icon ion a 57x57 button correctly;
the icon for the Retina text is 96x96 but "overflows".
Therefore I assume that the single .class file does not 'inherit' high resolution
when launched from eclipse.
;JOOP!

It's not the job of a Java compiler or an IDE to store information about
screen resolution in .class files.
