Currently the IDE has the same problem that all the other apps do - whatever rendering pipeline the Netbeans UI uses is blurry on a retina macbook pro.

Created attachment 121796 [details] Netbeans w/Retina Support Here's the proper workaround to enable retina support w/Netbeans, until formally supported. Though I am using Netbeans 7.2 RC1, I believe this fix should work with 7.1.2 as well. 0. Close Netbeans if open. 1. Enable JRE 1.6.0_33. JDK 1.7.0_05 doesn't work with the following fix. 2. sudo vi /path/to/Netbeans.app/Contents/Info.plist 3. Add the following before </dict></plist> and save: <key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key> <true/> 4. Logout or restart (to clear App cache). 5. Enjoy non-blurry Netbeans!

Please provide a screen shot of some plain Swing app (e.g. SwingSet demo) and reopen, thanks.
saubrecht I don't think you understood - it isn't the swing app that is blurry, it is the Netbeans IDE itself.
(In reply to comment #5) > saubrecht I don't think you understood - it isn't the swing app that is blurry, > it is the Netbeans IDE itself. You don't understand if a plain Swing app is also blurry then it's a problem in JDK implementation, otherwise it's a NetBeans issue.
Ok, thank you for the clarification. I tried as you suggested, and a "normal" swing app launched from within Netbeans is blurry. I think any java app will be blurry until it is bundled into a mac ".app" file and had the NSHighResolutionCapable flag added. Side note: After following velocd's instructions it worked great to get Netbeans IDE (latest dev build) to run at high-res. Wouldn't the fix be as simple as including this key by default in the build? (With the known issue of that key not working on 1.7, just 1.6 latest).
http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/21057cac3f56 Salamander, could you verify the fix in upcoming daily build http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest/ ? A build with this fix should be there in a few days. A notification will come here. Thanks

Thank you "saubrecht" it 's work with the last nighlty build. But it uses java 1.6, when will it work with java 1.7 ??
This is the only Mac OS X installer file that I found on the provided link: jdk-7u6-nb-7_2-macosx-x64-ml.dmg It contains an mpkg, as opposed to a pkg, although it's definitely not a zip. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7-netbeans-download-432126.html Do I have the right installer?
definitely not for patch1, since patch1 won't have installers.

So I just downloaded the nightly today (201208270001) and the problem still exists. I downloaded from: http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ Which gave me a .dmg containing an .mpkg of course. Attached are two screen shots showing the issue--they are in the above two posts.
A bit more info, just to be crystal clear: I downloaded the SE version (far left button). It gave me this file: netbeans-trunk-nightly-201208270001-javase-macosx.dmg When mounted, it produced this file: NetBeans Dev 201208270001.mpkg Which I double-clicked and installed.
Hi saubrecht- Thanks for looking into this bug. I tried standard 7.2 with Info.plist mod on JDK 1.7.0_06 (build 23.2-b09) and it ran but still blurry, but I can live with it - still getting used to higer resolution. In the mean time I'll be eagerly awaiting the 7.2.1 patch...
I'm running Java 7 update 8 on a Retina MacBook Pro, and the Java Control Panel (which I assume is in Swing) is blurry as well. System Preferences > Java.

I have just purchased Retina MacBook and Downloaded latest version of NetBeans (7.2), it is my favourite java working environment and it is very frustrating to work with it now as everything is very blurry. Is there any chance we will get a retina support in soon future, that would be really nice.

It's a JDK problem since plain Swing application are blurry as well. Without a Retina MacBook to reproduce the problem we can't even try any fix...
JDK/NB bundles doesn't contain the suggested flag: <key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key> <true/> I'm going to fix it ASAP.

#$%^@#. I just installed the latest java updates for OSX Mountain Lion, and for whatever reason, the fix stopped working! I at the same time downloaded fresh builds of Netbeans (7.3 beta and latest Dev), so hard to pinpoint what happened when. Under the new Java Control Panel, it only shows the 1.7 JRE, but that could be because the 1.6 is disabled for all browsers. **Unknown if this change is related.** I tried setting the java home to 1.6 in the netbeans.conf file as per http://wiki.netbeans.org/JDKVersionAndMacOS ... but that didn't seem to take. I launched it from the command line forcing the runtime to 1.6, ***and that worked*** But it is a bit of a pain to launch from the command line every time, I'd much rather find out why it stopped using the netbeans.conf setting. From icon launch with modified netbeans.conf: Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201210160002) Java: 1.7.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.3-b01 From command line launch: Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201210160002) Java: 1.6.0_37; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.12-b01-434
Salamander@netbeans.org I just had the same thing happen, and using the 20121012 dev build I was able to change the property in netbeans.conf and it 'fixed' the issue for now. The value I have is: netbeans_jdkhome="/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home" Of course, a real fix would be do not to need Apples JDK but I have not found anything promising that that will happen anytime soon. :(
Whoops. Forgot to remove the # at the beginning of the line. Both my path and your path works. yay not having to run from a command line. Boo having to manually force NB to run with the old JRE. What's the deal, 1.7 doesn't have a similar flag?

Hi, I try all your fixes on my macbook pro retina (installing JDK 1.6 and Netbeans 7.2.1), and all is fine. But... On MAC OSX only ! I have a windows 8 bootcamp installation. I do the same things (JDK 1.6, netbeans), but, under windows 8, the UI stays blurry. I tried the info.plist and adding the hires tips, but the UI is always blurry.

The fact that you fail to support high resolution displays has nothing to do with platform. This is a multi-platform issue and is also encountered when using Windows with bootcamp on a Retina display. I'm setting "Platform" to All and reopening this ticket. The title just mentions "Retina Macbook", that the OP is using OS X is coincidental. When you have fixed this on ALL platforms you can close this ticket IMO...

This is definitely a bug with Swing/AWT JDK 7 and not a Netbeans problem. There's no way to vote or comment on the following bug: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8000629# The account I set up on the Oracle site doesn't give me anything other than read access. Apparently, others are having this problem as well. http://www.java.net/forum/topic/jdk/java-se-snapshots-project-feedback/bug-database-read-only I'm try running both the lambda early edition and the regular JDK 8 and I still see blurriness. However, setting the JDK to Java 6 resolves the blurriness. Is there any way for us to comment on or at least vote on the bugs.sun.com bug? I'm concerned that this might not be fixed in time for JDK 8 and that would be really bad.

To set a default JDK version for netbeans on Mac OS X, follow these steps: 1. Open any editor. 2. Press CMD+O (to open the "Open Dialog Windows") 3. in the opened window press CMD+SHIFT+G (to enter the path manually) 4. Type "/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 7.3 Beta 2.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf" or "/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 7.3 Beta 1.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf" or "/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 7.2.1.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf" or "/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 7.2.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf" or whatever version of NetBeans you've got, and press ENTER (or click on "Go" button) 5. Press ENTER again (or click on "Open" button) 6. In the netbeans.conf file, search the line that looks like this: #netbeans_jdkhome="/path/to/jdk" 7. Under this line add: netbeans_jdkhome="/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home" 8. Press CMD+S ()to save the document. Now you can open (or reopen) the NetBeans.
Java 6 cannot be downloaded directly from oracle website. Apple provides it under their developer page: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action It's named: Java for OS X 2013-001 Developer Package Once you have jdk 6 in place then just follow steps at comment #65. Ahhh how good is to have my fonts looking great again.

So why do other editors (e.g. eclipse) running on JDK7 dont have the same rendering issues as netbeans?
(In reply to comment #69) > So why do other editors (e.g. eclipse) running on JDK7 dont have the same > rendering issues as netbeans? Eclipse uses SWT for rendering while NB uses Swing (over AWT) which is completely different.
Comment #65 totally did the trick. Make sure you get the "older" version of JDK to point NetBeans to. The inferface icons still look like crap, but at least I'm productive again.
I am a new Mac user. I tried to all downgrade methods from Java 1.7 to 1.6 but couldn't make it. I just removed the Java folder completely from the Library folder. Than I downloaded and installed the Java 1.6 (see comment 66, thanks to LuCiAn0) Than I installed the Netbeans 7.3 again and everything works good (icons, texts, etc.).
Anything we can do to (+1) the bug with Oracle/Apple/etc? As retina becomes the norm and java 1.6 reaches end of life in 2013, this could really hamper Netbeans adoption among the mac developer crowd.
I could have sworn I had it in retina (non-fuzzy) mode while compiling 1.7 java projects. I just upgraded to jdk1.7.0_17 and moved over the settings. And now I can't have both "non-fuzzy" and "able to compile against 1.7 runtime" at the same time. And can't even get the DEV version to launch with this fix any more. ========= CURRENT SETTINGS, ALL OF WHICH LOOK GOOD: JDKs: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_17.jdk/Contents/Home and /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home whereis java /usr/bin/java echo $JAVA_HOME /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_17.jdk/Contents/Home ls -la /usr/bin/java lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 74B Mar 4 20:45 /usr/bin/java@ -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java Verified that my Netbeans Info.plist (both 7.3 and nightly) have <key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key> <true/> /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -version java version "1.6.0_43" ======= Which results in the blurry app. NOW, if I move over the netbeans_jdkhome="/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home" in 7.3, it won't let me compile for 1.7 any more. And if I try it in the DEV version, it won't even start, and gives a "Cannot run on older version than 1.7" message. So, is this fix/workaround now broken?
(In reply to comment #74) > So, is this fix/workaround now broken? The reason that this issue was resolved as "wontfix" is because it is *not* a problem with Netbeans, but rather a problem with the Oracle's JRE. Any app that does not supply its own native widget library has the same problem. See [1][this Oracle bug] for details. [1]: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8000629
Yes, I understand that. BUT - there used to be a workaround, where if you manually edited the netbeans_jdkhome to be 1.6, you could get the best of both worlds: non-blurry, and able to compile 1.7 code. Now it seems like the workaround broke? Even if it isn't Netbean's fault that the workaround is now broken, I'd like to confirm if that is true.
Ah-ha. Workaround did NOT break. (But the JDK updater would like you to think that it did by changing the defaults) If you go into "Java Platform Manager" in Netbeans. And select your "JDK 1.7" platform. double check that the actual "platform classpath" entries list v 7 instead of v 6 items. I had to manually remove the 17 platform, re-create it, and specify the full path to 1.7 /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_17.jdk/Contents/Home Hopefully this helps some other JDK updaters out there. Note: this workaround is working in 7.3, but doesn't work in DEV, so I'm guessing that we are SOL unless someone fixes the bug @athompson speaks of. :(
The workaround was to use Apple's JDK 6 to run Netbeans in the mean time. You can still do so with the 7.3 release, but the daily builds migrated to JDK 7 to take advantage of its new features. I don't like it either. I actually opened a bug requesting that the migration be delayed until the retina issue was fixed (issue #228003), but then I realized/was convinced that it was better to not delay the progress of Netbeans in the mean time. So now I use a blurry dev build.
(In reply to comment #78) > So now I use a blurry dev build. A part of the Java fix, related to fonts rendering, should appear in jdk8 b86, as mentioned in the JDK bug comments. That build is not available yet, but could you please try it and report back as soon as it appears here?: http://jdk8.java.net/download.html
This is fixed for me now! Could finally upgrade to Netbeans 7.3.
The fixed did not make it into build 86. I'll try the next one.
Oooh! So pretty with JDK 8 build 88! You have to get the 9 May daily build of Netbeans or newer though or it won't start.
That is, the 8 May daily build of Netbeans.
FYI... I was having the same issue. I needed to run jdk 1.7, but force netbeans 7.3 to use jdk 1.6. My workaround was to set netbeans_jdkhome="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home" in /Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 7.3.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf This forces the IDE to use 1.6, but I can also choose 1.7 under Tools > Java Platforms. Hope this helps!
Can you please test also with b28 promoted build of 7u40, as soon as it becomes available at https://jdk7.java.net/download.html ? Is everything fine on Retina now? Do you see any remaining rendering problems? Can someone please attach a screenshot running NetBeans with 7u40b28 on Retina? Thanks.

I can also confirm that rendering is fixed using b29 of 7u40. I would also note, however, that performance is absolutely awful when using this build on a retina-display, compared to the Apple-supplied Java 6 running on the same display. Using the 7u40 build on a non-retina secondary display, performance is fine, its just problematic when moving the Netbeans window to the retina display. This may be because of the early build, but if performance stays at this level it will be unusable.
FYI There is an interesting blog post about the internals http://bulenkov.com/2013/06/23/retina-support-in-oracle-jdk-1-7/

Is anyone working on this bug? Netbeans suddenly made completely useless on my mac because it's so blurry I can hardly even read the code. This happened after updating jdk version from 1.6 to 1.7.0_25. I use netbeans 7.3.1 (the same situation on 7.4 beta), and osx 10.8.4. Please someone fix this, I don't want to switch my favorite editor! Here is the screenshot, I don't know how it appears on normal screen but it's looks terrible on retina display: http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/177/xol.png
(In reply to comment #91) > Is anyone working on this bug? As mentioned above, the rendering on Retina is fixed in early access builds of JDK 8 and JDK 7u40. http://jdk8.java.net/download.html http://jdk7.java.net/download.html
@markedwards what part of the performance is bad? I just flopped over from the old 1.6 to 1.7u40, and while scrolling isn't super smooth (and I see my CPU spike a bit when I scroll a lot) it isn't all that bad.
I take it back. Yes, that is ugly and slower in 7u40. Scrolling is choppy. The folder "expand" arrows on the left are blurry. Big issue with the post-java-6 usage of Netbeans, IMHO.

I filed a separate bug for the performance issues noted in this thread, associated with running Netbeans on a retina display with Java 7. https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237724
I can confirm this bug exists in JDK 7u45. MY FIX: Upgrading to the latest build JDK 8b117 resolves the support of the retina display. Netbeans is nice and crisp and clear again :)
*** Bug 260998 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Seen live from the domain http://volichat.com/adult-chat-rooms Marked for reference. Resolved as fixed @bugzilla.
Does not appear when NB used with latest JDK8 Update 102. Fixed in JDK8, closing in NB.
