Description

HiDPI icons, introduced in NETBEANS-2614 and NETBEANS-2604, do not yet show up in the correct resolution when used in the menu bar on MacOS. See the attached screenshot (from a NetBeans Platform application). This should be fixed.

Note that we have only so far introduced HiDPI icons for the "Undo" and "Redo" actions.

Emilian Bold probably figured this out in his earlier experimental Retina support branch; see RetinaMultiResolutionImage in https://github.com/emilianbold/nextbeans/commit/0f99dba0c1b3e8e0bc4e7cec407b53d30e85ead1 . If the solution involves implementing MultiResolutionImage, then make sure not to do this on Windows (to avoid https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8212226 ).
