I tried Java 7, then Java 6 (Apple's) but my Java (Swing) desktop applications behave as if I had a MacBook Pro instead of a MacBook Pro Retina.

Is there any setting I need to change somewhere?

Must I wait till ORACLE implements it in Java 7?

    Can you add more detail? What do you mean when you say that Java apps behave as if it's a MBP instead of a rMBP?

Taken from the instructions for how to modify Eclipse’s plist to get retina display. I can verify, this works. Perhaps something similar can be done with your app, assuming that the Mac version has a plist.

  1. Do "Show package contents" on the Eclipse.app.
  2. Edit Contents/Info.plist.
  3. Just above
    </dict>
    </plist>
    Place this:
    <key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key> <true/>

Following were instructions on how to clear the cached version, but in a development environment while you are creating your apps, they are probably not useful.

    Good find! Links may break though, that's why fully documented answers are preferred on AD. Can you please summarize the solution in your answer?

The time for waiting is over. Oracle did implement this at last in jdk-7u40
