Sorry guys, to cause confusion. I really should have read the whole thread - I
haven't (also see
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/macosx-port-dev/2013-November/006209.html).
Apple didn't have any public APIs beyond the Toolkit.getImage(...); method. It
loaded the appropriate image, i.e. a @2x version if available.
There wasn't anything else (not without hacking the private APIs ->

So - Jim - again sorry,
