This fix can be used for any program, not only Java.
If you need to fix the DPI for a JNLP application launcher, you have to add the following key to the resources section inside the .jnlp file :
<property name="sun.java2d.dpiaware" value="false"/>
After Upgrading Windows (e.g from win10 to win10 1607), you should apply this fix again if it doesn't work anymore.
** Afer Updating Java, you should copy&paste .manifest files into new Java's directory.
try running the vm with -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1
, it fixed my swing/vtk app
