So I recently just bought a new computer and it has 4k resolution. I am a student working with Eclipse IDE and cannot figure out a way to change the resolution in my preferences. Specifically, I am working on a project for school that uses a JFrame, JTextFields, Graphics and the like. When the frame opens it is so small on my screen that I can't even see what I have created. The rest of my eclipse is perfectly sized. Is there a way to scale the resolution settings in Eclipse? To be clear...I do not want to change the resolution on anything else except for the frame and its contents. I am a beginner learning in Java and I would greatly appreciate any help.

What OS are you working on, and what version of Eclipse are you using? Older versions of Eclipse wouldn't properly scale on 4k displays, as far as I know, newer versions like Oxygen (4.7) and Photon (4.8) should work fine out of the box. – Brian Fernandes Jul 25 '18 at 04:33

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/45426996/6505250 (Eclipse uses SWT as UI toolkit whereas `JFrame`, etc. is Java Swing). – howlger Jul 25 '18 at 06:10
