This hasn't been an issue in our application thus far, but does look stupid if you set your resolution/scale too far off. > The scaling is actually very good. I had a client get a laptop with a very high DPI monitor and he couldn't read the text on the GUI. I had started rewriting the program with a JavaFX GUI when Java 9 showed up with the scaling fix for Swing. He just changed out his runtime and it is back readable again. Java 10 is due in late March, I don't know what that means for 8, whether it will be EOLd then or if there will be a delay on that with the new release schedule. 9 has one really nice feature and that is that you can compile for previous versions with a single command line option. You don't need to have the rt.jar files for all the different versions. I've got some software in the wild that is stuck on Java 8 runtimes for the foreseeable future but I'm using the 9 compiler. -- Knute Johnson
