What Eclipse looks like on a HiDPI screen

Eclipse still uses 16x16 icons that look tiny on HiDPI screens, even though these screens have been available for years now. Eclipse should scale the icons based on the resolution, or at the very least, make it possible to increase the size of icons in the preferences.

I attached a screenshot to show what Eclipse looks like on my 15" 2880x1800 screen. The toolbar icons are tiny (3mmx3mm!). Other images in the interface suffer from this problem.
